...best (i.e., warmest) place to be in Munich on a Sunday morning is in bed. Nevertheless, 8,000 Munchener got up early, waded through ice slush and jammed into the huge, drafty tent of Germany's famed Zirkus Krone. When it finally started, the performance under the Big Top proved altogether worth the early risers' trouble. It was only thin little Socialist Dr. Kurt Schumacher making a speech. But he spoke up to the Allies in some of the boldest language yet used in public by a German in defeated Germany...
...disposal, the high command of the Cambridge Street Department attempts to clear main thoroughfares and streets serving hospitals and churches once a snowfall has stopped. Thus, by the time the snow platoon reaches an unimportant lane off the beaten path--Holyoke Street, for example--the unpleasant melange of snow, slush, and mud has frozen over with two-foot sink holes and ridges at appropriate intervals.

The investing prelate: Samuel Cardinal Stritch...
...live groups, some of the members of whom are refugees from the BVDeed Football Band have been serenading themselves and others for several weeks from a variety of locations. The two beat section, The Harvard Banana Orchestra (the band with appeal) featuring "Hot Lips" Loring, "Slush Pump" Pines, and "Spanker" Spencer holds forth on Wednesday evenings. The Gillespieites under "Rebop" Whitehouse give out on Thursdays. Holden Chapel, a building which has seen nearly everything during its two hundred and two years of existence is destined for at least one new sight when these two groups introduce it to le jazz...
