...Reinhardt formed the quintet for Le Hot Club in 1934. Grapelli had just begun to make a name for himself as a solo musician. Django was already famous throughout Europe. A gypsy by birth, Django was the first great jazz guitarist. He revolutionized guitar technique. He had lost two left-hand fingers early in his life. This handicap led him to invent new ways of playing and resulted in new sounds, new progressions, and new rhythms. Grapelli's swinging, raggy violin worked well with Reinhardt's rhythmic guitar style. The two were a smash hit throughout Europe. They played...
...TIME, this is known as an "inside cover." To bill this feature consistently! clearly and (we hope) attractively, we have devised the flap in the upper right-hand corner of this week's cover.

The Mercury, little more than engine and gasoline and mason jars full of 145-proof alcohol, immediately ignited. People down in the valley...
...much more than the crowd's delight in random violence, since it shows not mere brutality but a struggle between the forces of good and evil. The program for the match makes it easy to tell one from the other--all the bad guys are listed in the left-hand column. But the crowd already knows most of the wrestlers from television interviews--Bruno, of course, is earnest and modest on camera, while Koloff plays a sadistic braggart. In the ring, it is easy to tell the good from the bad by the wrestlers' techniques. Bad guys use strangleholds...
