...took-along with his tailored dinner jackets and crates of his favorite champagne-a piano organ, a metronome, a phonograph and records, two dozen pencils and a quire of music paper. On one voyage, from New York to New Guinea to Rio, he even took along 'Writer Moss Hart. When their ship docked in New York 4½ months later, they presented their producers with a finished musical.

...WORKING PARTNERS. Barbara Moss, 29, of Howard University, was taking a calculus course seven years ago at Cleveland's Case Western Reserve.
