...Kans. As she slimmed down to her present 145 Ibs., Ann began to get dates in Las Vegas and Hollywood, but she did not hit it big. She refused to sing rock 'n' roll ("The money isn't that important''); her best records (Like Nothin', 01' Man River) got raves from the trade papers but they did not move in the market.

The selection of five Basie classics (including Texas Shuffle and Diggin' for Dex) is taken from the period 1937 to 1941 and played by three veterans of the Basie rhythm section...
...were 18 Egyptian Dragons in all, Negroes and whites. Eleven, aged 13 and 14, were shipped off to a reformatory as juvenile delinquents. The remaining seven, all of whom signed confessions, quietly waited out their trial. Some of them changed their stories ("I didn't see nobody do nothin' "), protested that they had been beaten into confessions by the police. Last week, after 24 hours of discussion, the jury wound up the city's longest murder trial (14 weeks, 6,000 pages of testimony). Verdict: three defendants were acquitted; two were convicted of murder in the second...
