Shosta kovich was a prime target, and Prokofiev caught a few glancing blows. Now, considering that at one sitting rival composers can make or break a year's work by one of their colleagues, the sessions are fairly harmonious.

She had a lot to say in the Trib's rise to its present high place, a pinnacle that would seem even higher if the view were not obscured by its great morning rival, the Times. The Trib is sixth in circulation among Manhattan's nine daily newspapers, but far higher than most of the others in the quality of its writing and its coverage, and its typography. In some departments, notably music and the dance, its critics are superior to the Times...
