...since Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie, the Lewis and Clark of modern jazz, returned from their first explorations on Manhattan's 52nd Street, other musicians have been following the masters' trails. Their search is more for small refinements than grand departures, and cults of aficionados armed with phonograph records travel in their wake. Thelonious Monk's cult, whispering of Webern, insists that the silences in his music are even more profound than the sounds. Miles Davis' cult, transfixed by his trumpet, says nothing, preferring to express its worship in utter silence. But the cultists that follow...
Just a few weeks ago, almost everyone conceded that Capehart, a farm-born Hoosier who became a millionaire phonograph manufacturer before his election to the Senate in 1944, was a cinch to be reelected. Everyone, that is, but Bayh, who has been campaigning furiously in a white station wagon equipped with fancy gear for making newspaper photo mats and television tapes. Also born on a farm, Bayh was president of his 1951 class at Purdue University, earned a law degree from Indiana U., was elected to the state legislature in 1954, owns a 340-acre farm near Terre Haute.

...past seven years, and Byrd wanted to find out why. In random sampling, investigators discovered that many families on relief had one TV set and that several had two.

Each day after school, Arthur's father put some old Benny Goodman records on the phonograph and locked Arthur in his room with orders to "play along with the records for the rest of the day." Arthur "hated it" but he also learned: "I mastered every [Lionel] Hampton solo...
...Liston's day is his public afternoon workout−as smoothly organized as a Broadway musical. The air is heavy with tension and dank with sweat; fans jam the 100-seat outdoor bleachers (at $1 a seat), and rock 'n' roll blares from a portable phonograph. Precisely at 2:30 p.m., Liston announces his arrival with an electrifying rat-a-tat on the lightweight "speed bag." He begins to shadowbox, sliding lithely about the ring, huge fists darting out at imaginary opponents. "Time!" calls a handler, and Liston begins to whale away in earnest at his sparring...
