Since the time of the sixteenth century choral school, Spain's place in the history of music has not been particularly impressive. That a change has come about in the musical status of this nation is demonstrated by the fact that two concerts devoted wholly or in part to the keyboard music of Spain will be given here this week. Thursday evening George Copeland, celebrated for his interpretation of the modern Spaniards, will play a program in Jordan Hall including several compositions of this school. We are primarily interested, however, in Joaquin Nin-Culmell's concert of Spanish music from...
...well as at flabbergasted peanut vendors they will fire their questions. What is your business? Are you incorporated? What were your total receipts during 1939? Cost of materials? Wage payments?

...think about Shakespeare. Probably this was because of a remark made by one of his instructors which seemed to stick in his mind. The instructor had said with great fervor and obvious fondness for the great poet that Shakespeare is as much alive today as he was in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Exciting--Vag thought--if the immortal bard were really to come to life again for a day, just to see what he would think...
