...LETTERS OF VIRGINIA WOOLF, VOL. VI: 1936-1941 Edited by Nigel Nicolson and Joanne Trautmann; Harcourt Brace Jovanovich; 556 pages...
Honkers & Screamers (vol. 6) is perhaps the most definitive Rock & Roll album in the series. This instrumental LP of very early (mostly around 1948) sax-led rock features Paul Williams (not the short blond mutant), Hal Singer, Big Jay McNeely (the main argument for this set) and other important sax screamers.

Heading into the three-meter diving finals, the race for second place developed into the meet's focal point. After Michigan's Matt Chelich clinched the high board (exchanging the runner-up slot with Miami's low board champ Greg Louganis), the 400 free relay pitted the meet's top six finishers against each other. Three minutes later the margin between the second...
