Brilliant comedy, epigrammatic wit, and hectic melodrama are here in abundance--but all in the service of solid intellectual ideas...
...LEWISOHN STADIUM (June 25-Aug. 10) summer concerts, originally conceived as a form of recreation for World War I servicemen, quickly expanded to give all of New York's worn, huddled and hectic masses a tension-free oasis where they could drink in the cultural delight and pellucid serenity of music.

But even as they tallied up their new orders, Germany's businessmen debated whether the Hanover Fair...

Hunter Street, the main drag in black Atlanta, separates a stately complex of Negro colleges from the hectic offices of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. The proximity is misleading: Morehouse and the other schools in the Atlanta University system are training Negroes to meet the standards of middle-class participation in American society, while SNCC's field workers are out to change the political and ethical bases of that society...
