...exotic equivalent of the cross sections found in bomber crews in World War II movies-a soulful French muscian, a what-ho English blueblood, a hulking Russian who once guarded the Czar's family, and so on.

The chorus consisted of such New York City boosters as Polly Bergen, Robert Merrill, Ruby Dee, Celeste Holm and Guy Lombardo. They all assembled at a recording studio to perform one number, a snappily chauvinistic tune called Mad About You Manhattan. Sample lyric: "A double-decker bus is fun in Piccadilly Square/ But I prefer a subway car to take me everywhere." The idea is that the record...
