...testimony to that aim. Last week Composer Copland had another. In his first cinema music, for the documentary film The City (see p. 66), he wrote a score which well expressed the calm of a New England village, the bustle of a big city, the well-being of a model town. At the New York World's Fair, he had another: Copland tunes t accompanied giant puppets in the Hall of Pharmacy. And, although they never got to Broadway, the Mercury Theatre's Five Kings and the Group Theatre's Quiet City were provided with Copland scores...

Soon all steel-peddling haunts buzzed with reports that auto production schedules called for 1,000.000 1939 cars by year's end. At a ton of steel per car, Detroit would have to buy 1,000,000 tons. Buick had just bought 35,000 tons. Ford was shopping...
...they had enough orders for five months of operations at 50% of capacity. Their week of war had sold not just 1,000,000 tons to feed Detroit from October through Christmas, but something like 2,000,000 tons-enough to tide auto production over until the 1939 model year was nearly over.
