...tract, now indicated that he might negotiate. The university issued conciliatory statements, and Heyns asked for removal of non-university police from the campus. A substantial number of police left the university grounds, and arrests in that area dropped. The young opposition, however, showed no signs of collapsing. Protesters kept busy slipping underground newspapers to troopers when Guard officers were not looking. At one point, 15 addled Guardsmen were relieved of duty; Major General Glenn C. Ames complained that "hippie-type females" had slipped his men brownies, oranges and apple juice spiked with LSD in a sort of chemical...
...Hawk began to play the piano at five, the cello at seven, and was fingering a sax at nine. While playing with Singer Mamie Smith's Jazz Hounds on a Manhattan gig, Hawkins, then 19, was heard one night by Band Leader Fletcher Henderson, who signed him and kept him for eleven years. Hawk developed his particular sound-breathy, but also powerful and deep-grounded-in part, as he once said, "because I was trying to play over seven or eight other horns all the time." In 1939, while working with his own combo in New York City...
Father Figure. Hawk reached his peak of popularity as a musicians' musician during the early '40s. But he kept abreast of later changes, from swing to bop to the cooler, lighter sound of the '50s. He also became something of a father figure to young players, whom he entertained in his Manhattan apartment overlooking Central Park, talking music or baseball and cooking for them (he loved all kinds of beans-and popcorn). Almost always in the background there was the sound of classical music; Hawk loved Bach and Beethoven as much as a strong jazz solo...
...truth. We didn't throw them out. In 1949, immediately after the war, the Cabinet of Israel decided that within a peace settlement with the Arab countries, we will take back about 100,-000 refugees. The Arabs wouldn't listen. For 20 years the refugees were kept in camps. The textbooks printed with the money of the United Nations were full of hatred toward Israel, with wonderful arithmetic examples of how there were five Israelis, we killed three, how many are left? Now the little boy who was five is now 25. He is maybe Fatah [an Arab...
Trained as a mathematician and astronomer at Oxford, Wren used an empirical approach to architecture. In general, he kept to the Gothic tradition, with steeples and layers of construction piling upward, but to this he added French, Flemish and Italian Baroque as it suited his purpose, pleased his fancy, or kindled his architectural imagination. He might be called a virtuoso of the eclectic. St. Paul's combines coupled columns from the Louvre with the triple-layered dome of Mansart's Hotel des Invalides. It served as a model for the U.S. Capitol dome. At St. Mary leBow...
