...Council committee's purpose is to deal firmly with agents who never quote the same prices twice and to put the brakes on cut-throat dance competition in order to permit dance chairmen to use black ink in their ledgers for a change. A wise choice of time is a vital factor in holding a successful dance and to deny a central committee power here as the individuals propose, is to nullify all its other good offices.

But one rehearsal converted them. The Goldman Band developed into a precision instrument...
...realization came to the small towns, where people lived close together. Many of the little towns now had lost one of their boys; many of them had a service flag with a gold star hanging in a parlor window along one of their shade-dappled streets. To little, ink-smelling newspaper offices went a mother or a father, holding stiffly the telegram from Washington and the picture that had stood on the mantel...
