...spite of Mr. Dyer-Bennett's obvious skill in singing what one observer called the "la de da" ballads, he becomes, after steady listening, as entertaining as a ten-year-old Irish tenor singing "Danny Boy" for a local talent show. Dyer-Bennett's voice, unfortunately, lacks that twist of lemon peel which, for example, made Hank Williams something more than another hillbilly singer...

Last, and to some extent, least on our list of local artistic events at Harvard, is the collection of Mr. and Mrs. Edward M. M. Warburg, on view at the Busch-Reisinger Museum. There are some excellent works in the collection: Picasso's famous Blue Boy, some fine drawings by Cezanne, Millet and Seymour Reminick, and some first rate sculpture by Lehmbruck, Matisse, Lachaise, Epstein and, of all people, Paul Gauguin.

There have been politicians (Maryland's Senator John Marshall Butler once sponsored a nightly weather roundup as a campaign gimmick), puppets, and above all, dolls. As one of the largest sponsors of TV weather programs (36 on local stations in the East), the Atlantic Refining Co. has tried its share of stunts.

...aggressive farm groups in this field has been the Nebraska Wheat Growers Association. Four years ago, alarmed at the loss of overseas markets, the Nebraskans started levying a quarter-cent-a-bushel tax on all the wheat produced and sold in their state. The funds, amplified by foreign counterpart (local currency) funds at the disposal of the Foreign Agricultural Service, were used to run wheat laboratories in Lima and New Delhi to test local grains, in the process show mills what good U.S. wheat grades to order to make more nutritious, more bakable bread. The work went over so well...
