...pressed the charge of civil contempt.* Lewis could be jailed or fined on the civil charge at the discretion of the court. Morison noted that 85% of the miners had gone back. His recommendation: the civil penalty should be postponed. This meant that Lewis would still be on the hook. The court could haul him in and fine him at the drop of a miner's pick. Judge Goldsborough thought the suggestion "eminently proper" and adjourned the case...
Last week the policy was apparently reversed. A new directive provided for censorship of occupation news at the source. It covered unclassified matters "not of public interest or of a privileged nature." And individual officers were to decide what was of public interest.

He must be on guard not to exhaust prematurely, in a too early climax, the excitement meant for a later one; to make each part shine for itself, and fit in a whole. It is not a metronome that is required, but taste, talent, culture and care-and some musical X besides. Toscanini has that X blazoned on his forehead...
