...Franklin Delano Roosevelt offered a Government job to a young New Yorker who did not need it. At 32, Nelson Aldrich Rockefeller, armed with knowledge gained through the Rockefeller enterprises in Latin America, had persuaded F.D.R. to create a special "Good Neighbor" agency in the U.S. Government. Roosevelt appointed the second son of John D. Rockefeller Jr. as his Coordinator of Inter-American Affairs.

A freshman chamber orchestra accompanied the Passions' magnificent lullaby. The two choruses sang well together; in the future they should join forces for a larger portion of their joint concerts.
