...teen-age rumble, the patient prayers of the hardworking faithful, the clink of pennies in a revivalist's plate. Harlem has mothered a strange and varied brood: Bojangles Robinson, tap-dancing down Broadway; Sugar Ray Robinson in a fuchsia Cadillac; Josephine Baker in a banana-laden G-string; pro-Communist Vito Marcantonio, haranguing a street-corner crowd; Father Divine in his special heavens, and-most recently-Adam Clayton Powell Jr., pastor of the Abyssinian Baptist Church...
...India. Stop off in West Virginia." Said a shopkeeper in Welch (pop. 6,500): "I think he's stronger than Kennedy. He's more what the little people, like me, want-somebody who can help us out of this." Said Humphrey of his reception in the string of coal towns: "I felt like Caesar-one long triumphant procession...
...Second String (adapted by Lucienne Hill from a novel of Colette) portrays the home life of an egocentric French playwright-philanderer who is almost never at home.

Both Composers Bartok and Martin anticipated the dreams of the stereo engineers by calling for strings divided in equal groups on either side of the conductor. The resulting spread of sound is interesting, but less so than Stokowski's fine performance. Even with a pickup orchestra, his Bartok glows with tonal colors as weird and arresting as an electrical storm, and his vigorous reading of Martin has a fine...
