...critics gave every sign of wanting to welcome Barbara home with loud huzzas when she came back to Broadway last fall in John Steinbeck's gauntly Saroyanesque play, Burning Bright. But in the face of Steinbeck's dreary obscurities, the best most of them could muster was a cordial hello. Last month, when Barbara at last rode into town on a good play, the huzzas were unanimous...
Since Watts cannot go, Barnaby will be able to muster only two of his top three doubles teams for the season. Sophomores Charlie Ufford and Art French make up the first doubles, while Captain Bob Bramhall and Bill Goodman, a junior, will play in the second position. Gerry Murphy, who usually teams with Watts, will be matched with any one of four other members of the team for the third pair...
...these troubles was Chopin's orchestration. Generally uncomfortable in large works, the composer was nearly able to redeem the disjointedness of this concerto by the delicacy of isolated sections. Unfortunately, delicacy was precisely the quality Mr. Battista could not muster. He approached the most tender passages in a hard-boiled manner: although technically facile, he seemed suspicious of both sensitivity and real clarity.

He needed twelve to re-elect him to his $65,000 job as baseball commissioner; the best he could get from the club owners in Miami Beach this week was nine-the same as last time around (TIME, Dec. 25).

They handed the screening job to a committee, told the committee to "take...
...last five years, responsible city officials have advocated a large city-owned incinerator to break this monopoly. When disposal facilities are owned by the city, any company can muster enough money to invest in necessary equipment, and can therefore afford to bid. An incinerator would also cut off the $75,000 expense of dragging the refuse out to Spectacle Island. In 1945, $30,000 was appropriated to plan an incinerator, and an engineer engaged to do it. But when the design was submitted, the Public Works Commissioner rejected it on two relatively minor points. Nothing has happened since...
