Emma moved steadily westward, then veered northward off the Virgin Islands. Meteorologists figured that she would probably keep on going northward-as most Caribbean hurricanes have done before -through a low-pressure trough created by two high-pressure banks. But the "highs" converged so fast that the big 'cane's northward path was blocked. For six hours, she stood ominously still near the Bahamas. When she started to roll again, she headed westward, straight for Florida's southeast Gold Coast...
...symphony he picked is really Gillis' sixth, but because it is so short (14 minutes) Gillis decided to call it Symphony 5½. Its four movements-Perpetual Emotion, Spiritual?, Scherzofrenia, Conclusion!-jump from low-down to hoedown, owe more to Gershwin than to Bach.

...Retreads. Brooklyn's fatherly Manager Burt Shotton, 62, is a man who had known failures too. A few years ago, hot-tempered fans booed his third-base coaching at Cleveland.

Some try, a few are sincere, and-what the hell-a couple even know what they're doing...
Paar attracted attention with his summer show despite its low rating. In big-time radio this fall, attention will be harder to get. But Paar is confident. "I will not mug. No, I will not mug," he cries. "Way out in left field, that's where my humor really lies. I'm new and I'm good. And I represent true radio as against the false radio we have been getting from the vaudeville comics. . . . Me and Henry Morgan and a few others . . . we're the future...
