...eminent U.S. physiologist, Dr. Gustav Eckstein, has visited Japan often. He has been more interested in Japan than in any other country except his own. Since Pearl Harbor, Dr. Eckstein has been busy thinking about the Japanese, and writing about them. He has written a rambling yet limpid book, of uncommon charm in style, in insight as rich as it is unpretentious. If every U.S. citizen read this book, and digested it, the chances of a durable Pacific peace might be greatly improved...
...better knwon men in the band is clarinetist Rod Cless, for his work on the iabulous Muggsy Spanier Ragtimers' records. Perhaps his cool, limpid tone is not as immediately satisfying as PeeWee Russell's hoarser clarinet, but after repeated hearings, Rod is just as exciting.

Another go-getter was Hedy Lamarr, who wangled 225 tired Philadelphia businessmen into buying $4,520,000 in bonds at a single luncheon. But her patriotism has a limit...

Friends feared that Shostakovich's next composition might have to be called Stone Walls Do Not a Prison Make. But Composer Shostakovich was not a revolutionist for nothing. He publicly agreed that Pravda knew more about music than he did. He withdrew his Fourth Symphony (it has never been performed) after one rehearsal. He announced that he would stake his musical future on a Fifth Symphony...
...where the winters are rainy, Darrel Austin paints an imaginary world of endless oozy swamps and puddles, peopled with perky-looking animals and wraithlike beings half submerged in pools of water. His colors, laid on the canvas with a palette knife instead of a brush, are notable for their limpid transparency and eerie phosphorescence...
