...believe that Russia has a great future, now that its people have a chance to find their own soul. Let us help them, let us believe in them and let us not be afraid to tell them the truth, though it may cost us something. Let us hope that the governments of the United States and Great Britain will have enough wisdom, foresight and courage to see this matter through. Let us get rid of meandering diplomacy so that we may not be called cowards by the great Eastern community of nations...
...book, which tells of an explosive bandleader (Jack Whiting) who impersonates the godfather of a young thing (Susan Miller) with whom he falls in love, is silly, dull, and slower than a tightwad reaching for the check.

There, in a scene of great jubilation, forgiveness and mutual back-patting, the President signed it-less than 24 hours after...
...that. A comparison of their recordings of popular songs with the effusions of the Sweet, Swing set is eye-opening. The gulf between Ellington's "Take the 'A' Train," and Miller's is immeasurable. The Ellington band's complete grasp of the spirit of the thing, its spontaneity, its "soul," if you will, make Miller's version seem pallid and pointless, which...
