...meeting of Thelonious Monk, a musical revolutionary, and the Dixieland clarinetist Pee Wee Russell was a flop. There is little enough in common between them, and Monk was uncompromising. It was Russell who had to do the adjusting, and in the process his watery tones lost whatever vitality they might have otherwise had. The concert closed with the 21-piece Stan Kenton orchestra...

Though he takes great liberties with rhythm, his superb sense of timing prevents him from losing the feeling of swing. Rollins' meeting with Coleman Hawkins created the kind of excitement which Thelonious Monk's meeting with Pee Wee Russell completely failed to engender. The exchange of ideas between Rollins, with his jabbing, knife-like tones, and the mellower Hawkins, was like a friendly debate between two great philosophers.

Only the lewdies (the old) read any more and "newspapers not being read much neither." There is universal social security. The millicents (police) are everywhere.

Life for Alex...

...West and the lack of high school facilities, all of the better caliber hockey playing takes place outside the high schools in amatour leagues, where subsidies for team equipment and ice practice time are more readily available. In Canada players from eight to 16 players participate on either Mosquito, Pee Wee, Bantam, or Midget teams.
