...Three Songs, and James Webster's String Quartet should be blamed on the performers or the composers. In all three works, it is clear that the composers have approached the common idiom of twentieth century music--and beneath a few musical pinnacles, there really is one--much as a snake eats a rat: by swallowing it whole and unchewed. Giving the details of the ingestion would be too painful here. Three Psalm Fragments, by Thomas Benjamin, received a spirited performance by a selected chorus under Truman Bullard; the work is constructed of such modern musical discoveries as fourths, fifths...
...concept of God (TIME, April 12), added a Sylvia Porter-type column of financial advice from "Our Young Man in the City."

When news of the Syrian revolt reached the Iraqi capital of Baghdad, a military parade was transformed into a victory celebration, with long lines of citizens and students snake-dancing through the city. In Cairo, Nasser's men hailed the new Syrian regime. It seems probable that Nasser will profit from his past mistakes and settle for a coalition of "liberated" Arab states governed by Baathists and pro-Nasserites but retaining their separate identities and sovereignties...
