Only the chorus stanzas were well done last night, however, and even they suffered from a less able orchestral group recruited from the Cambridge Civic Symphony. At times the trumpet section alone threatened to destroy the well-blended harmonies Miss Hiatt received from her singers...
Sounding the Trumpet. Three years ago, that "needed and wanted feeling" was painfully absent. Prevailing U.S. military doctrine relied mainly upon the threat of nuclear retaliation to deter not only big wars but also little wars. Lacking strategic nuclear punch, the Army was assigned only a relatively minor role in U.S. defense planning. After Korea the Army gradually dwindled to 14 understrength divisions. Renowned Army Generals Matthew Ridgway, James Gavin and Maxwell D. Taylor resigned in protest against the down-rating of the Army.

Goodyear's frustrated commuter, with his summer treads spinning in a snowdrift, just edged out Purolator Oil Filter's Moonlight Ride-the one with the terrific looking girl...
Back in Bean's Bag (Coleman Hawkins, Clark Terry; Columbia) was intended as an epochal encounter between Hawkins' tenor sax and Terry's virtuoso trumpet. Then something went wrong; the true soloist turns out to be Tommy Flanagan on piano. During Hawk's flights of fancy, a wildly distorted recording balance hides the horn behind the accompaniment...
