Words & Music. Good taste and an unquenchably romantic point of view are the common denominators of most of the 1,000 songs Rodgers & Hart have written together. Larry Hart did not originate sophisticated lyrics. William Schwenk Gilbert was 48 years and many a smart jingle ahead of him. Richard Rodgers is not the first man to write melodies that get inside of people and do something to them. Franz Lehar could still give him a lesson in Schmalzmusik. But a song is words and music, and nobody ever fused words and music more effectively than Rodgers & Hart. When Rodgers...
...stink remains in Reader Larsen's story of Franklin Delano-and most of it clings to TIME's smart college boys for publicizing it [TIME, Sept. 5]. Your good American readers respect our highest National office, whether or not they agree with its current incumbent. It was amateurish and cheap to offend the President, his office, and your readers of good taste and the essential proprieties...
Author Stone, himself a smart and self-confident young man, admires the youthful London and all his works for reasons that appear a bit superficial.

Berle Jr. (who resigned last fortnight†) and Leon Henderson, now attached to the Monopoly Investigation, member of the commission whose report last week on consumer incomes (see p. 59) is red-hot campaign ammunition. Only other original...
...Well," remarked Magistrate Sabbatino, "this is one case where Jimmy Hines gets a break. Go home." Meantime, Harlem's smart gamblers had shifted from Numbers to betting on the outcome of New York's trial-of-the-year, of Tammany Leader Jimmy Hines as the political fixer of the Numbers racket (TIME, Aug. 29, et ante). Mr. Hines was getting no more breaks than ambitious young Republican Prosecutor Thomas Edmund Dewey could help. Highlight of the trial's third week was a detailed account of Defendant Hines's connections with the racket told by nosey State...
