...most useful. Egypt was conquered about 1800 B.C. by the Hyksos, a crude Asian people. Much of the information about this period was suspect because it came from a schoolboy's exercise tablet. Egyptologists debated whether the schoolboy's tale was a partial copy of a grownup text (like copying the Gettysburg Address) or whether it was a patriotic composition out of the boy's own head...
...James M. Barrie; music by Mark Charlap and Jule Styne; lyrics by Carolyn Leigh and Betty Comden and Adolph Green) was bound to become a musical in time-and doubtless in time for Mary Martin to play Peter.

The full measure of his success is still to be taken, but in Britain, for instance, pastors everywhere report church attendance and membership up since his dramatic campaign...

With heavier vocal underpinnings from 18 grownup "gentlemen of the choir," they sang a cycle of English church music from the days of Orlando Gibbons (1583-1625) and Henry Purcell to the present. Then, sometimes with the older choristers, sometimes without, they sang their way through a glowing repertory of folk songs and madrigals...
