...York night life has none of the exoticism of the Far East, or even the Western lavishness of Las Vegas, where moderately priced sirloins and an hour of Frank Sinatra serve as loss leaders for gaming tables and one-armed bandits. New York has to make its profit in inflated prices and deflated drinks-the minimum at the higher-priced places, such as the Blue Angel and the Latin Quarter, is $7; a highball averages about $1.25. New York has less convention-tickling cheapness than Chicago and more variety than Los Angeles, but a lack of the good-time-Charleyism...
...taken over the franchise from New Orleans and Chicago, and is now Coolsville itself. The Jazz Gallery is a cold, concrete cave that could be an abandoned subway station; dedicated ears listen while Thelonious Monk passively stirs his piano or Dave Brubeck passionately tinkles his. From Basin Street East to the Roundtable, the Half Note Club to Birdland, the Embers to the Five Spot Café, the big cats prowl; and no jazz musician considers his career made until he has made it in Manhattan.

Canon law demands that within one month after it has been received, a pastoral letter must be read in each of the denomination's 7,500 parishes. But the "sheer mediocrity" of the "ecclesiastical jargon," protested Protestant Miller, made it necessary for him to disobey...
...push for complete merger of the C. & O. and B. & O., which would create a vast railroad net rivaled only by the Pennsylvania in assets ($2.3 billion) and surpassed only by the Santa Fe in track mileage (11,000). Eventually, Tuohy sees a huge, unified rail system in the East. Says he: "This opens the sluice gates. Wait till we get this merger squared away. I have other ideas already...
