...good Communists have heard jazz orchestras. But tourists in Moscow may hear jazz at the tourist hotels. One of the best is at the Grand Hotel where Leader Alexander ("Sasha") Tsfasman, "Russia's Paul Whiteman," postures, stamps and waves his baton.

Genius in teaching, divorced from original scholarship, is not always a thing which a great university remembers with adequate gratitude: happily in Professor Palmer's case it was allied with...
