...morally right and proper for a state to assist children in getting an education. It is morally wrong and improper for a state to insist that in getting that aid the children must submit to an unreligious education. The solution will be to extend the aid to the parents directly, so that they may place their children in such schools as they deem proper.

Moreover, Ceylon's economy was in bad shape, and Daha's chaotic Sri Lanka Freedom...
Pianist Allen got the idea for the album when he heard Alto Saxophonist Julian ("Cannonball") Adderley insist on TV one evening that jazz criticism is "a joke." Allen scribbled several funky tunes (Hackensack Train, Fink's Mules, Too Fat Boogie) and recorded them as the work of Pianist-Composer Hammer. He tricked up some of the tracks by recording first the bass, then the upper register and gluing them together.
