...second chorus of "Honey Suckle Rose" is an imaginative recollection of Fats Waller and "Wild Bill" ploughs a safe and sane path through the final chorus of "Sentimental Baby." It almost sounds as if, God forbid, he was reading it off a score, there are so few sour notes...

Readers who followed Molotov, Gromyko & Co. through recent international conferences will recognize the exasperating Soviet sweet-sour game, though in 1943-45 the exasperation was probably not all one-sided.
