Genial Shad Tubman rules Liberia through his True Whig Party and by the judicious use of jobs and "dash"-the local word for payoffs for favors-to keep the important 20,000 Americo-Liberians happy. He has also originated a unification policy intended to pass out political and economic plums to the hinterland tribes and was the first Liberian President to give them representation in the legislature. Half of the U.S. development grants of $8,600,000 a year is earmarked for teacher training and the construction of schools. Tubman quite frankly caters to the Liberian love of status...

This symphony, called "Symphonie Concertante," is one of the more skillful anthologies of Stravinsky's music to appear since World War II. Its first movement presents the principal ideas of Agon, with a dash of Canticum Sacrum; its second, themes from The Rite of Spring; its third, themes from The Symphony of Psalms. After carful editing removes the boring parts where Hartmann tries some of his own tricks, the symphony should be very popular in short courses on twentieth century music literature...
