Music like Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue," interesting harmonically but otherwise dull, the Brahms Fifth Hungarian Dance, and the unbreakable Blue Danube Waltz, are there for those who can still bear them.

Another mutiny was located in the reconnaissance groups at Kaiserslautern, where seven squadrons balked. They, apparently, did not relish the receptions the French in their Curtisses had been extending. This week the French General Staff reported the engagement of 27 Nazi fighters by nine French fighters in which one-third of the Nazis were shot down, none of the French...
