Premier Daladier has lengthened French working hours by scrapping the 40-Hour-Week Law in "industries vital to national safety." He has broken with the Communist Party, formerly a pillar of the French Popular Front coalition, to the delight of Berlin. And Premier Daladier has recognized the Italian conquest in Ethiopia by appointing Andre Frangois-Poncet to Rome as the first French Ambassador ever accredited to "Emperor Vittorio Emanuele."

Richard Rodgers is not only the master of a tonal palette filled with surprise and delight, but he is constantly at search for new forms across the known boundaries of his medium. The dream music for Peggy-Ann, and twelve years later for Married An Angel, the "Slaughter on Tenth Avenue" ballet music for On Your Toes, the march of the clowns in Jumbo, while probably causing Richard...
