...thumpings and banshee wails that the singers and orchestra are barely audible. Solos break off at tantalizing spots. But for all that, the records offer invaluable testimony to the student of singing on the style, range and phrasing of such otherwise unrecorded golden-agers as Jean De Reszke, Albert Saléza and Georg Anthes, and such better-preserved stars as Lillian Nordica, Emma Eames, Johanna Gadski, Marcella Sembrich and Antonio Scotti. Every so often, the patient listener is suddenly rewarded by hearing the great voices shine through the surface fog-Scotti in Act II of Pagliacci, Melba...
Located some 14 miles north of West Palm Beach, Salhaven was named after U.I.U. President Sal B. Hoffmann, who has spent $2,500,000 of his union's welfare-fund profits to build a 634-acre community that will eventually cost $5,000,000, house 500 union members and their families in 240 air-conditioned, completely furnished cottages and ten apartment lodges.

The Yanks were gambling on Don Larsen. a lighthearted playboy noted most for spectacular achievements such as wrapping his car around a Florida telephone pole during spring training. In the second game, he had lasted less than two innings...
Maglie was sure and sharp. He gave up only five hits and two runs. But after the first few innings, Sal Maglie was just the second-best pitcher in the game. Towering (6 ft. 4 in., 220 Ibs.) Yankee Larsen was scarcely wasting a pitch. Only once, against Pee Wee Reese in the first inning, did he go to a full count on a batter. His sharp curves found the plate as if they had eyes. He needed no more than 97 pitches (71 of which were in the strike zone) to dispose of the absolute minimum of 27 Dodger...
