Spot of Advice. Churchill was not advocating appeasement of the Russians. He was quick to remind the world that "the Soviet armies in Europe, even without their satellites, are four times as strong as all the Western allies put together." Jaw thrust forward, blue eyes flashing fire, the Old Man denounced "Socialist politicians who hope to win popularity both by carping and sneering at the U.S." He warned the Tories, too, that "it would be madness to make our heavily burdened island take up an attitude which, if not hostile, was, at any rate, unsympathetic both...
...four years of retirement and reflection, Clarinetist Artie Shaw was back in the music business last week, at 43. He mounted the bandstand at Manhattan's jazz-bent Embers, looked unsmilingly over the jabbering crowd and spoke into the microphone: "Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to remind you that it's almost axiomatic that music sounds better against silence. Not dead silence-just enough so that we can hear ourselves play." It might have been the old Artie Shaw, the one who called jitterbugs "morons" back...

It would be prudent and appropriate for the Navy to put at least equal emphasis on undersea warfare that it is now placing on aviation...
Only one picture was designed to remind Germans of Big Brother's big fist. Its title: The End. Subject: Hitler in his last moments in his crumbling Berlin bunker, a drooling, raving maniac surrounded by besotted generals. The rest of the exhibit was thoroughly predictable: noble Lenins, fatherly Stalins, travel-poster vistas of sunny harvest fields, hefty milkmaids, stern-jawed Stakhanovite workers, a tired, heat-racked oldster peering into the furnace glow whose portrait was entitled Esteemed Old Steel Puddler F. I. Sveshnikov. (Not to be confused with Esteemed Steel Puddler of the Hammer and Sickle Works...
