...Bright Future. Why did the wave occur? "I don't know why," said Humphrey. "It isn't local, attributable to any one newspaper or anything of that kind. I have been trying to think what it is. I just wonder if perhaps it isn't because this Eisenhower Administration has done such a tremendously successful job on the big things-on the things that got him elected. Each of us is thinking of some of the more minor things that we would like to have handled just the way we would have done, and one after another...
...Fulton Lewis Jr., the literate wit of Eric Sevareid, the pear-shaped tones of Lowell Thomas. Gone now from radio is Winchell's clattering telegraph key and breathless bleat: too seldom heard is aging (79) H. V. Kaltenborn's clipped assurance. The news comes by short wave and on tape, the newsmen in snazzy ties and boutonnieres (ABC's popular John Cameron Swayze), and even in pairs (NBC's intelligent and informative duet, earnest Chet Huntley and wry David Brinkley).

More than 1,500 women registered for judo courses at the U.S. Marine Corps station. Toledo's police chief asked for ten more patrolmen. Vice Mayor Ned Skeldon proposed an 11 p.m. curfew. Citizens' committees bombarded city hall with demands for action...
During the years of retirement, Sibelius never moved far from his house, wrapped himself in cigar smoke and in music (he liked to listen to concerts from all over the world on a powerful short-wave set). Said he wistfully of jazz: "If I were only younger!" Of cowboy ballads: "They never get grey hair, do they?" He was said to have composed steadily, but nobody was able to discover just what the music was like. From 1932 on, when the late Serge Koussevitzky announced that he hoped to premiere Sibelius' Eighth Symphony with the Boston Symphony, audiences looked...
