Boston may not know it, but it's in for a major cultural crisis. With a blare of publicity, the Boston Herald has started a game called "Tangle Towns." The public should be informed: Tangle Towns is not a new thing. It has occurred at least once before, in New York, amid circumstances that could reasonably be described as a cultural crisis...
...carefully prepared statements, the New York Herald Tribune (circ. 347,490) last week announced a shift in editorial command. Out as executive editor and top-ranking man on the news side: George A. Cornish, 58, a Tribune veteran of 37 years, taking the title with him. In as the paper's new managing editor and vice president: Fendall Winston Yerxa, 46, the Trib's city editor for three years before he left the city room on 41st Street...

...front-page reviews of both the Times and Herald Tribune enthusiastically announced, Miss Nilsson's enormously powerful voice is superbly controlled and especially well-suited to Isolde's demanding music. In fact, many musicians have cited her bright, clear soprano as more appropriate even than Flagstad's to the role. Irving Kolodin, the musical pundit of the Saturday Review, added his share to the heroine-worship of Nilsson, now the fashion among New York critics, by pointing out her superb acting and imposing stage deportment. All in all, one can find few flaws in her tempestuous, queenly Isolde. Though...
