...attacks have crippled Leopold Stokowski and made it necessary for Assistant Arthur Rodzinski to conduct the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra. Last week in Carnegie Hall, he had enough of enforced idleness, made up his mind to disappoint his audience no longer. His right arm in a sling, he gritted his teeth, picked up the baton with his left, conducted the Kaminski "Concerto Grossi" single-and-left-handed. The pain was too great. He had to retire.

...broadcast his opinion to the effect that Dartmouth students have thrown off the shackles of the "sweatshirt period" only to sink into the toils of dilettantism. A Dartmouth undergraduate ably reputed Mr. Marks' aspersions and emphatically denied that students "walk about Hanover with tiger ljlies beween their teeth and green carnations pinned to their jackets. Once more the voluble Mr. Marks offers himself as a target for criticism...
