Among the band's members are some authentic jazz virtuosos. Sonny Payne is the grooviest of the big-band drummers-to watch, if not to listen to. Alto Saxophonist Marshall Royal, Trumpeter Snooky Young and Guitarist Freddy Green are all heartfelt blues soloists. Bassist Buddy Catlett, the band's newest member, gives the whole orchestra a subtle and highly advanced sense of rhythm.

...distinguished weekly, we ask Thy special blessing, continued vision, strength and wisdom to fulfill their great responsibility as informers and formers of the public mind. Grant that in all the hectic pressures of their calling they may preserve its ideals of truth, integrity and fairness. We offer Thee our heartfelt thanks, O Lord, as we count the blessings of TIME'S 40 fruitful years." The cardinal then read a telegram from the Vatican: "Holy Father Pope John XXIII requests Your Eminence to convey his greetings to the assembly, expressing prayerful hope that the meeting may further the cause...
