Lennon, the senior Beatle, is ecstatic about Klein. As Lennon told TIME Correspondent Charles Eisendrath in Appie's Savile Row headquarters: "He's only been here three months, and he's sorted out seven years of crap. This guy talks our language. He just says, 'Where is it?' and 'When do I get it?' and 'How much do the tax boys take?' It's as simple as that...
...spent hours reconstructing the orchestral parts from a copy of the original conductor's score. "I'm going to die," exclaimed Indianapolis Symphony Conductor Izler Solomon in mock horror when he was handed the 435 pages of Paderewski's Symphony in B Minor, which took nearly seven years to compose.

Born in St. Joseph, Mo., Hawk began to play the piano at five, the cello at seven, and was fingering a sax at nine. While playing with Singer Mamie Smith's Jazz Hounds on a Manhattan gig, Hawkins, then 19, was heard one night by Band Leader Fletcher Henderson, who signed him and kept him for eleven years.

Meanwhile, some 52 loudspeakers spouted sounds from as many different...
...everyone. It showed that when forced to it Harvard can play good ball. For the most part the fielding was clean and brisk and the batting was sharp and timely. Highlands pitched a good cool game, allowing but three men bases on balls and keeping Princeton down to seven scattered hits. His base running in the fifth inning was one of the features of the game. Scannell was a little unsteady at times, muffing two third strikes and letting in a run by a wild throw over Dickinson's head. Dickinson and Cook both played steady games, neither making...
