Shostakovich's Fifth Symphony was one of the orchestra's finest achievements, and their newly-released recording compares quite favorably with the standard Stockowski version. In the Hindemith Concerto, Stanger was not at all bothered by the many complexities of rhythm and harmony which prevail throughout. The same was true of his performance of Piston's Third Symphony. This work, which won the Pulitzer Prize in 1947, is a tough nut to crack.

These recent attacks on Mr. Acheson are . . . the same sort of thing that happened to Seward. President Lincoln was asked by a group of Republicans to dismiss Secretary of State Seward. He refused. So do I refuse to dismiss Acheson . . ." When he came to the final sentence, President Truman slapped the manuscript to his desk with the flat of his hand. That, said the gesture...
