Professor F. O. Matthiessen offers the best possible answer to Bob Strange '41, whose "Daiquiris and Dilettantes" is an echo of the ancient cry of "indifference." This is a label Stange pins on the students and blames on both the faculty and the general mental climate in the "cultural Island" that is Harvard...
...their catch. Oregon finally topped California by a standing offer of $2.50 more than any price California wanted to name.

"Slow Freight" is back in the same old disappointing style, however... Les Brown, back on the label he started out to record for (Decca), finally has a band that is mature enough to attempt things beyond seeing how many high Cs the brass section can play.
