...Britain, where a song called Tom Hark became the top jukebox hit so fast that record companies have ordered a half dozen new pennywhistle tunes. Princess Margaret herself has cut some kwela steps. Pennywhistle records will soon liven U.S. jukeboxes; American jazzmen (including Clarinetist Tony Scott, Saxophonist Bud Shank, Pianist Claude Williamson) went to Johannesburg to learn and record the new sound...
...gimcracks of a theatrical era in which Cohan wrote shows called Little Johnny Jones and Little Nelly Kelly, and singers stretched "baby" to "ba-ay-ay-ay-bee." Rooney evoked Rooney. But if the tumultuous Rooney was not the debonair Cohan, he was still a sliver off the same shank, and great fun to watch as an outrageously brash song-and-dance man taking a reluctant theater by storm.

...night the events were even more closely spaced. Some saw the Student Players' production of "Harvey" Friday night and attended the Glee Club Concert on Saturday night. Others switched the order, or substituted a basketball game. Whatever they were doing at 9 o'clock, by the shank of the evening, the crowds were bound to be safely would about a drink and a date at a fraternity or dormitory party. In fact, some omitted the cultural and athletic attractions altogether...
