...record industry worth a small mint, but it has shown nightclub owners and theatre operators that life is something besides a bowl of red ink. The San Francisco Fair wasn't doing too well until Benny Goodman and cohorts arrived on the scene. And we doubt very much that Mr. Whalen has been booking swing bands for the New York Fair because he likes their brand of "jump" music...

...even such black marks as Mr. Larry Clinton's persistent swipings from Tschaikowsky can cover up some of the fine playing done this year both on records and in person by a great many bands. Among the crop of new outfits, trombonists Jack Teagarden and Jack Jenny and pianist Teddy Wilson have units worth watching . . . The public's taste in jazz has kept on improving; consequently, Mr. Shaw is finding things just a bit more difficult. His tripe isn't quite as easy to pan-handle this year . . .

At the same time the majority of them...

Throughout his discussion Mr. Ross assumes that responsibility for Harvard's appointment policy rests upon President Conant alone. The assumption seems to be correct. It is clear at least that this policy differs at many points both in spirit and in method from that suggested in the report of the Committee of Nine. Though it is true that President Conant may find partial support in the Committee's recommendations, any insistence upon citations from the report can only make clearer that however admirable in substance, it was in form and in timing a political blunder of the first magnitude. Looking...
