...whiskey was a bet between Martínez and mustachioed Engineer Hernando González Varona, who will use almost any means to get the Capitol ready for the Inter-American Conference in March.

"Those two jugs are just a starter for the celebration...
...practically a monopoly on big-league choral singing. He has put new life into the art in the U.S. CBS and RCA Victor own only their company names for Shaw's choruses.

Toscanini, who is now 80, had agreed to record full-length operas for RCA Victor, but had still to make the first one, La Traviata. And with the Petrillo recording ban only ten days away, it was likely to be some time before he got around...
