Predictably, congressional reaction split along geographical and ideological lines, though many legislators were keeping an open mind. While Mahon voiced the sentiment of the hard core rural and Southern areas, New York Democratic Representative Richard McCarthy spoke for the urban sector. "It is my hope," said he, "that the historians will not be looking back at me and the rest of us and declare that we constituted the 'Nero Congress' which took this report and did nothing about...
Like his first Concerto, Kirchner's second is a highly evocative, emotionally-charged piece to be played with as much delicacy and sentiment as power and assertion. Except for one bar specifically marked "Lyrically," all that emerged from the piano Friday night was forceful, if controlled, declamation.

Dr. Dolittle, despite its collection of pans, is in the running for the Oscar as the year's best picture; so is the bloated comedy of miscegenation, Guess Who's Coming to Dinner. Sentiment presumably dictated the unexpected candidacy of Cecil Kellaway for best supporting actor in Dinner, a movie in which that kindly old character actor once again played a kindly old character. Spencer Tracy, also in Dinner, was nominated posthumously for best actor as a farewell gesture; he died less than three weeks after the film...
