...When Tom Morello, the spectacularly adept guitarist for the politically minded punk/metal/rap band Rage Against the Machine, is asked to name his favorite guitar player, his answer is intriguingly atypical. He doesn't name Led Zeppelin's much copied Jimmy Page, though he does allow that Page's "mysterious, unsavory" guitar solos made him think, when he was young, that he too could "channel mysterious, unsavory things into suburban Illinois through my guitar." And he doesn't name Jimi Hendrix, though when Morello was a student at Harvard in the mid-1980s (major: social studies), he sported an impressively expansive...
...surprise, the festival's standout was the Dave Brubeck Quartet. Blending classical and jazz traditions with a masterful touch, Milhaud-trained Pianist Brubeck (TIME cover, Nov. 8, 1954) and his mates (Eugene Wright on bass, Joe Morello on drums, Paul Desmond on alto sax) made each number sound like a theme and variations.

There were also several other suspicious persons, a group of local businessmen, a police detective, and a swart gentleman called Ciro Terranova alias Morello, commonly known as the "Artichoke King,"* and believed to possess a limousine equipped with bullet-proof glass...
...lull. Veteran Senators became aware that the clerk was reading something. Listening, they heard it to be a seething telegram. Mystified, they whisperingly questioned one another, learned that the Junior Senator from Rhode Island (Jesse Houghton Metcalf) had sent to the clerk this telegram from a constituent, Angelo Morello, who had become incensed by re marks made the previous day by Senator James A. Reed of Missouri.* "Scurrilous, venomous . . . due to ignorance and prejudice," said Angelo Morello's telegram. Veteran Senators were appalled, cast sad looks at Mr. Metcalf, Angelo Morello's Senator...
