They were wrong, even though the first year of Marshall aid produced a fine and eminently visible job in Europe. ECA money built steel mills in France, brought running water to hill towns in Italy, put ports back in business with hundreds of new cranes, and supplied more than half the bread for a whole group of major western European nations. It helped jump France's production to a figure slightly higher than the big boom year of 1928. But the Marshall Plan failed, as many people thought it would, to cut into Europe's basic economic troubles...
...excellent but demanding lecturer, is giving Comp. Lit. 166, a half course in the "Forms of the Modern Novel." It could be a very good bet (Emerson D). Nock's History of Religions 101 is highly entertaining. Good to listen in on occasionally (Harvard 5). Kenneth Conant's Fine Arts 179, "American Architecture." is non-technical, not difficult, and excellent to audit. Slides and aucedotes (Fogg Large Room...

A fine rhythm section-Baby Dodds, drums; Pops Foster, bass; Ralph Sutton, piano; and Danny Parker, guitar-make the base for all of these pieces. This segment stands out in "Eccentric" behind Davison's trumpet. Jimmy Archey, the small trombonist who made such a big noise in Boston last winter, handles the leads on "Hotter Than That" and "Big Butter And Egg Man," teaming on the latter with Sutton to manufacture a beautiful duct...
