When it took over some abandoned German positions during World War II, the U.S. Signal Corps stumbled on a discovery that was destined to revolutionize the life and times of that hardy American hobbyist, the hi-fi addict. The signalmen found magnetic tape and equipment superior to any then developed in the U.S. What they wrought back home by their find was evident last week at the Chicago World's Fair of Music and Sound. Tape is the hottest thing in hi-fi today, and the tape industry is wooing the public this fall as it never has before...

As against his un surpassed ear for talk, Boswell's eye for travel was merely superior. He had a feeling for the picturesque: the boatmen singing as they crossed to Raasay and, "as we came to shore, the music of rowers was succeeded by that of reapers." He recorded traditions: whenever the head of the MacLeods or the Macdonalds died, his sword was given...
