...other side of the coin, private expenditure, came to an overwhelming $236 billion, which the GOP loudly hearalds as an indication that Rich America is growing richer and the standard of living is skyrocketing. The private debt for 1954, unfortunately, soared to its highest point in history. The non-farm debt reached an all-time peak, and the farm debt exceeded any since the bleak days of 1932. Naturally, the more you borrow the more you can spend. Under this truism, the Government and the public borrowed and spent more than they ever had before...
Even accidents were turned to advantage. One day, when only half the band arrived for a recording session, a new distribution of voices was evolved on the spot to make the few sound richer. The tune was Mood Indigo, and the broad-spaced trio at the start became one of Duke's sound trademarks. Other tunes lay fallow in the band's books until somebody set words to them and they caught on, e.g., Never No Lament (Don't Get Around Much Any More), Concerto for Cootie (Do Nothin' 'Til You Hear from Me).

Communism . . . ROBERT D. BEACH Carmel, Indiana...
...Broadway production is enormously the richer for Comic Bert Lahr's brilliant playing of the more confused of the two tramps. He endows the role with a clown's wistful bewilderment, evocative capers and broad but beautifully precise touches of comedy. Far more than Beckett, Lahr suggests all dislocated humanity in one broken-down man. Others in the cast, however competent, seem a little too studied grotesque or Middle European in style. None the less, Godot has its own persistent fascination. For once in a way, at least, in a theater rife with pointless hurry-scurry, they distinctly...
