...scribe who said of Till the End of Time, "It was the best-selling jazz record of 1945" [TIME, June 23]-was he kidding the public? Anyone who had the nerve to pen such a banality should be forced to listen to Guy Lombardo, Sammy Kaye and Freddie Martin till the end of time...
...years had its premiere last week. It was Britten's first try at satirical comedy; his first two operas, Peter Grimes and The Rape of Lucretia (TIME, June 9), were both dark and tragic.

Rumors of his high-flying amours had in their freshman year kept three baby deans permanently poised to pounce...
...been back a year now. I could have a solid job in publishing, but I want to be here. Last year I took History 1, Math 2, a couple of Philosophy courses, and got to know a few hundred people all over the College. I'm a settled married guy, but I'm eager as a kid about my reading. Listen, Sturdy, 'a voyage of discovery' isn't just words. I do huge amounts of outside reading, and find it thoroughly exciting. I'm getting to know my own University for the first time...
