Limited Aims. Lippman has dealt specifically with the keys to any possible U.S.-Russian settlement: Germany and China...
Last year Kaye dug into his trunk for a song he had worked on seven years ago with Lyricist Fred Wise (Misirlou) and Tunesmith Sidney Lippman (Chickery Chick). They had never been able to sell it. Growled publishers: "Sounds like an old-fashioned tap routine," or "Who wants to sing the alphabet?" His collaborators almost lost hope, but Buddy kept plugging. He persuaded M-G-M Records to record it just before the Petrillo ban; when M-G-M finally released it last December, Buddy spent $1,000 carting the record around to half a dozen cities, badgering disc jockeys...
...President's proposals Wednesday followed from the conviction that his program has failed during the past year because he has provided no military bite to back up his diplomatic bark.

And with some very pleasant music and some clever lyrics by a couple of freshmen in the musical comedy business, named Sidney Lippman and Sylvia Dee, and most especially with Nancy Walker in the cast, the book becomes a secondary matter. It's built around a sharply-pointed parody of Joe College on his home grounds tossing out below-the-belt punches at the fraternity system, big dumb football heroes...
