...METHODIST MINISTER PAUL A. SCHILPP, professor of philosophy at Northwestern University, Evanston, Ill.: "The immorality takes place much earlier than when people are in their shelters. It occurs when people think they can protect themselves from an all-out nuclear...
Study in Contrasts. Except in their musical tastes, Co-Founders Eaton and Smith are as much a study in contrasts as last week's program. Son of a Methodist minister, Pennsylvania-born Johnny Eaton. 26, started composing and playing the piano as a youngster, but he went to Princeton to prepare for a law career. Work with Roger Sessions, and the success of a couple of fine jazz albums that he cut for Columbia with his own student combo, changed his mind.

Greene majored in philosophy at Syracuse University, studied psychology in Vienna. When he bucked for an M.A. in English literature at Columbia University he might have been doomed to an academic career had not a fusty professor refused...
