...Whitney Balliett, 80, dean of jazz criticism, mostly for the New Yorker, whose vivid, sensual and impressionistic writing on the exploding medium mirrored the exuberance and cadence of the music itself; in New York City. His prose made palpable the styles and physicality of performers like drummer "Big Sid" Catlett (whose "huge hands ... reduced the drumsticks to pencils") and trumpeter "Doc" Cheatham (whose solos were "a succession of lines, steps, curves, parabolas, angles and elevations"). Defining his role as appreciative witness as opposed to stern judge, he and writer Nat Hentoff in 1957 put together TV's The Sound...
...tailing someone through cyberspace may be far more revealing of personal details. "If you go to sites about mental health or pornography, that information could be subpoenaed in a civil suit or custody battle and used against you," warns Jason Catlett, president of Junkbusters, a privacy advocacy group.

When you are streetwise like I was, you learn to read that." Sid Catlett, a Notre Dame graduate who had a brief NBA career, credits Wootten with turning his life around. Catlett had been fatherless since the age of three. When he went to De Matha, Catlett, now an electronics executive, turned to Wootten for guidance.

...assemblage surged to its feet in a warm ovation, Secretary of State George Catlett Marshall, who had commanded all of America's military forces during the war, bowed, accepted his doctor of laws degree and sat down again.
