...Andrei Gromyko, off & on, for nine years, ever since he arrived in Washington in 1939, a tall, dark, diffident young man with darting, unfixed eyes. He had not changed much, just grown a little heavier; his brief smiles (which at first made his new diplomatic acquaintances feel they might somehow "get across" to this Russian) were briefer than before. He would leave his name behind in the U.S. vernacular: "to pull a gromyko"-meaning, variously, to walk out or to be a robot reiterating the reflexive...
...what a time was had by all! . . . The steaks were good! In fact they were so good that some of the guests sat through a double feature . . . This is the way it is done, kids.

...while the Band was temporarily in second place, its performance was by no means second-rate. There can be no denying that it does its best on band music from Sousa on down; somehow the effect of sixty ponderous brasses proclaiming Bach chorales seems a little foreign. The same situation in reverse came up several years ago when the Boston Symphony recorded "stars and Stripes Forover" and did a creditable job but might better have left such undertakings to the Harvard Band. To do long-hair (and that portion of the program was not limited to Bach) in such fine...
