...come to hear the Royal Philharmonic under Beecham, or the Berlin, or the Vienna Philharmonic, or the Concertgebouw. It seems to me that what is played here is less important than who plays it. Whatever he thinks of it, the festival-goer certainly gets a good idea of the state of orchestra-playing in Europe and what's doing in the theater. Isn't that what a festival...
Then both tackles call signals for blocking assignments on the play. It sounds confusing, but to good T-men it isn't; on a play to the right side of the line, the players listen only to the right tackle, and let the left tackle chatter his deception signals unheeded.

When five-year-old Janie Franz turned up in Philadelphia last week, a day after she had been kidnaped from Trenton, the Associated Press solemnly surveyed the geography of the case and told how her father took the good news: " 'I'd run all the way to Philadelphia to get her back,' he said." Added the literal-minded A.P.: "The two cities are 35 miles apart...
