Artistry bowed before racial prejudice again this week, right here in Boston, too, in a manner reminiscent of the Affaire Marian Anderson of two years ago. Those of you who heard Frankic Newton's broadcast last Sunday remember the sensitive guitar strummings and down to earth blues singing by Joshua White. Josh White accompanied Libby Hofman, who learned to sing the blues from him, over at the Balinese Room of the Somerset this past week. He has produced three fine albums, devoted especially to his songs, but a musician of his accomplishments is just another Negro to the innkeepers...
Well, the other musical oasis around town is the Savoy Cafe out on Columbus Avenue, where most of the Ellington menage repaired almost every night after their last show.

There will always be believers in the power of the press and lovers of the potency of wine--right through the duration...
...teaching himself Latin for the purpose, he began his five-year study of Newton's Principia. In it he discovered an error. At 19 his brother-in-law gave him a copy of Euclid's Elements; Bowditch later concluded that Euclid was "a second-rate mathematician." To study French mathematicians, he taught himself French. His method was simple. He got a copy of the New Testament and a French dictionary. When he had translated the New Testament into French, he knew French (except its pronunciation...
