...raffish, sentimental quality about it; the poetry dotes on objects familiar to everyone, and a reader is not ashamed to chuckle and sigh along with the poet. Among the seven, "To a Doting Parent" is the most light-hearted, "Hill" the most serious. The former, set in staccato three-line stanzas and concluding with a jolly exhortation, "So cram your baby full of candy:/What quicker way to make a dandy?," has a gay and terse rhythm. The latter, perhaps less clear in its contemplation of man's past seen as a view from a high hill, moves quietly...
...Finger. The Moho was discovered in 1909 by Seismologist A. Mohorovicic of Yugoslavia, when he noticed that the speed of earthquake waves increases suddenly at a certain level under the earth's surface (the depth varies from place to place). This suggested that the Moho marked a dividing line between different materials. Geologists believe that the Moho is the bottom edge of the granite and basalt that forms the lower layer of the earth's crust; under it is the earth's mantle consisting of a mixture of silicates and nickel-iron, which in turn encloses...
...bands as Count Basic, Jimmy Lunceford, Duke Ellington.

...other hand, Romney will have a problem with some of his dealers. Some 30% of them are auto bigamists; they sell a Big Three car as well as the Rambler, will probably carry the Big Three's line of small cars (though only Chevrolet, Ford and Plymouth dealers, of which Rambler has practically none, are expected to). Romney hopes that his hard core of 2,800 dealers will stick with Rambler. During the industry's 1958 slump, Rambler saved many of them; last year they made a 2.8% profit on their total sales v. .2% for the average...
With Gerry Emmet out of action due to a sore arm, what little depth the pitching staff had was greatly depleted. In the opening game, the second line hurlers were not even able to hold Richmond to less than the seven runs the Crimson batters amassed...
