...followup, Zagri concentrated on the Labor Committee's 30 members, developed an easy ally in Chicago Democrat Roman Pucinski (A in the book) and half a dozen others. Zagri also appeared before the committee as an expert witness, and offered no fewer than 59 pages of bill-gutting amendments. Teamster-touting Democrat Jimmy Roosevelt (A) of California introduced the Zagri proposals as a substitute bill...
...slice: the 47-model fashion display to be shown four times a day at the U.S. exhibition opening in Moscow late this week.

There was the monumental Prelude and Fugue in G Major; and the three-movement Trio Sonata No. 1 in E Flat, one of the most treacherous challenges in the entire literature. Of the two chorale-preludes, Liebster Jesu, wir sind hier presented a constant parade of startling dissonances.
