...Ambassador Warren Austin at U.N. to bow most deeply toward Peking. In a radio broadcast, the Chinese Communists had raged that two U.S. F51 fighters had strafed their Manchurian border airfield. At Lake Success, Austin said yes, it was just possible that one F51 had accidentally shot up the field, and the U.S. would gladly pay indemnities. Indeed, the U.S. was as anxious as anybody for an investigation and it would abide gladly by the ruling of a U.N. investigating commission...
Until O'Dwyer quit, it was understood by all that Governor Tom Dewey would retire to private life, leaving the field to his lieutenant governor, 74-year-old Joseph R. Hanley. But Republicans knew that a New York mayoralty election would rouse up an otherwise apathetic, big-city, Democratic vote; as a matter of fact that was one of the reasons why O'Dwyer had been encouraged to resign. In some panic Republicans looked again to Dewey. But there stood Hanley, defiantly repeating his intention to run. All of a sudden, Hanley gave...
...contact with Western freedom. Charging them generally with "lack of trust in the Soviet Union, in which no doubt is possible," he kicked six ranking Reds out of their jobs and out of the party. Ulbricht arrested all six on charges of conspiring with U.S. Relief Worker Noel Havilan Field, whom Ulbricht sneeringly described as "the American spy and merciful Samaritan."

...Angeles, another network, scheduled to go into operation in November, was preparing to enter the field. Progressive Broadcasting System hoped to perk up many of the 1,000.slowly expiring small unaffiliated stations of the U.S. with a daily infusion of ten hours of "live" and recorded shows. Hoping for a network of 350 stations (and needing 200 to break even), Progressive promised a familiar formula: soap operas, Hollywood gossip, a homespun philosopher named Cottonseed Clark, and such singers as Mel Torme and Connie Haines...
Bela Bartok published only six string quartets, but as far as many a musician is concerned, they gave the intimate and delicate world of chamber music its rudest shock since Beethoven. With his First Quartet, composed in 1908 when he was 27, Bartok stalked into a field of harsh, hybrid harmonies and fierce rhythms that jolted Budapest listeners upright in their seats. In the Second (1917), Third (1927) and Fourth (1928), he cultivated the field; his harmonies became more astringent, the rhythms more incisive, the textures ever tighter. Listeners found much that was either impenetrable or unpalatable, but they also...
