...books and literary curios. Most curious curio, one of a batch of letters sent over the years to various magazine editors: a terse note from Calvin Coolidge to Sumner Blossom, onetime editor of American Magazine. Wrote Cautious Cal: "I have not written anything on the subject to which you refer and do not expect to write anything on it. In giving you this information I am trusting that you will not make any improper...
...really four pianists: Gary Graffman, Leon Fleisher, Eugene Istomin and Jacob Lateiner. The first three are close friends, and all share an extravagant admiration for an ancient Steinway concert grand known as "Old 199." Because they pass it from one to another while touring in the U.S., they refer to its current player by a composite name. Graffman & Co. today are in the forefront of a group of young U.S. pianists who have recently made the perilous leap from prodigy to professional artist...
Despite the recent drops, the U.S. economy still has a long way to go before it approaches the slump of 1953-54-which economists now refer to as the "goldplated" recession. Steel must drop another 21% of rated capacity, retail sales 10%, carloadings another 6%, industrial production another 12 points, and unemployment would have to double to 5,000,000 (most economists foresee 4,000,000 by spring). The only part of the U.S. economy that has dropped far enough to be in a serious recession is the stock market. It plummeted...

We feel we can do more good by referring one student with a long program of restorative dentistry to an outside dentist whom we know and then taking three short restorative cases in the clinic in his stead, than we would if we were to take the long case in the clinic and then refer the three short cases outside. This plan...
...health and housing of employees. Eighty per cent of the wealth of Tata Sons was systematically given away to charitable trusts. When leftists say capitalism is passe, Tata replies: so is socialism. "Considering the remarkable progress made in capitalistic countries, particularly since the war, such a view can only refer to the 19th and early 20th century type of capitalism, which is, indeed, just as out of date as the 19th and early 20th century type of socialism...
