Lionel Hampton and his Band were scheduled to give a swing concert Sunday evening but actually nothing but a glorified stage show took place. From an entertainment viewpoint, the singing of Rubel Blakley and Dinah Washington, the comical acrobatics of Hampton and pianist Milton Buckner, and the valiant efforts of eight Boston Symphony violinists kept the evening from being a dull one.

The Government accepted...

Trucking Corp.'s car had halted close to the Rubel platform, the man in the white apron whipped out a submachine gun from beneath the sacks on his pushcart.

Others, like the natty dresser and the inexpert huckster, emerged from the crowd that had loitered...
