...long time been difficult to find any good music of this kind on the radio. You can hear Teddy Wilson's band for short spells Friday evening on the Duffy's Tavern program, but except for an occasional late broadcast by some good orchestra, there's hardly anything interesting. If you can't drop off to sleep before two o'clock, however, there is something to be heard almost every night. Within the past two weeks, for instance, I have, through adroit manipulation of the dials, found Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, and Jay McShaun, not to mention some people called...
Whooping out of a tavern in suburban New Rochelle, N.Y. at 3:30 a.m., four high-school-age boys hopped into a jalopy and set off up broad North Avenue.

Calhoun, who was just beginning law practice, stopped there often on his way home from court. When Nancy was discovered pregnant, Calhoun quickly admitted his guilt and gave her $500 to leave the State. For a second $500 he arranged to have a trader's hired hand take her home with him. The hired hand was husky, hard-drinking Tom Lincoln. When the trader's wife objected to having...
