...first and second generation Japanese in California did not come from the masses of the people. Even when Californians were still stunned by the sudden attack on Pearl Harbor, there was great sympathy for the Isei and Nisei [alien and citizen Japs] placed in this tragic position through no fault of their own. Most Californians were content to let the FBI weed out the undesirables...
...Berrien doubts whether U.S. colleges and universities will ever accept this intensive method of teaching foreign languages, but he thinks they ought to. Says he: "If we are now lacking engineers, agronomists and economists with a knowledge of Spanish or French, it is not altogether the fault of the U.S. people who can't learn languages' but also partly of educators who have failed to relate language to the activities and interests of men in different fields of work.

I found little reason for the authors to include so many obscure records of the vintage of 1925 which only a few collectors probably own. Most commendable is the wide scope of the book, although many of the examples are certainly not the best of a particular band or player's work. Almost every big band of today that ever recorded a riff is mentioned, and there are some reflections on the quality of big-band arrangements. You'll find even the Alec Wilder Octet and the Golden...
