...Four Short Duets for Viola and Cello, by Stephen Addiss, have little in the way of structural subtlety. They do not give the impression of careful construction or particular refinement. Here and there a nice hummable tune or warm sonority occurs--but that...
From Washington last week came the touching news that U.S. taxpayers had been touched, in fiscal 1956, to the sharp tune of $75.1 billion-13% more than the $66.3 billion they paid in federal taxes the year before.

During the Second World War a record sold one-and-a-half million copies; the tune was "Let Me Off Uptown;" the singer, Anita O'Day. She had a unique style, toying with a melody, avoiding sentimentality in the ballads, and introducing jazz idioms. Miss O'Day became hugely popular.

But outrageous Bozzy holds the stage today, possibly because he often seems in tune with psychoanalysis. Inspired by Jean Jacques Rousseau's dedicated frankness, Bozzy deemed it "fine to be sensible of all one's various sentiments and to analyze them." This meant that, like many self-analysts? he shamelessly dredged up his vices but coyly concealed most of his virtues...
