...bull's-eye, too. To The Rock's artillerymen, the roads, hills and valleys of Bataan were as familiar as the vein pattern on the backs of their hairy hands. They had the range of every position behind Mariveles. The Jap found that out as battery after battery was smashed and silenced. When he tried to move up more guns, the sharp-eyed observers on The Rock spotted his dust, called for fire, and got it.

Folk Songs of the U.S.S.R. (Red Army Chorus. Pyatnitzky Chorus, soloists; Keynote; 8 sides). Some of the deep feeling, childish simplicity and vein of fatalism of the Russian people shines through these well-chosen songs, which include Stepan Razin, tale of the Slavic Robin Hood.
