...some time of its "Achilles' heel" in this respect. To remedy this situation we have planned to offer, as an experiment, a course in the Summer Term to be called the Materials of Music, to be given by Assistant Professor Richard French. This course in theory will be a counterpart of Music 1, the well-known course in the history and literature of Music.

The management provided such extra amenities as luncheon baskets and hot water bottles...

But bread would be cheaper by 12%, cereals by ten, and most other foods remain unchanged from their previous lowest levels. Because citizens whose prices would be cut greatly outnumbered those with unbanked hoards, there was more jubilation than grief in Russia at the Zhdanov decree...
