At 18 he clawed his way onto the old Los Angeles Record because "at the time I was under the misapprehension that being on an afternoon paper meant that you worked only in the afternoon." Ever since, through numberless odd jobs on newspapers and in radio, he has been getting up "at the crack of dawn and hating every morning...
...suffered its Dienbienphu last week. Paramount Pictures Corp., last of the big moviemakers to hold out, finally surrendered, sold its backlog of 750 pre-1948 films to TV.

...settled down to write a compendium for the common, or musically uneducated music lover. The famed Dr. Johnson waggishly defined a lexicographer as "a harmless drudge." Scholes makes no attempt to refute the gibe, in fact rather proudly points to some of his own drudgery; e.g., he meticulously checked numberless musical scores rather than reprint other men's findings, with the "minor" result that he explains and translates "probably a greater number of musical directions than that in any previous publication...
