Small business, always a tender spot in the economy, accounted for most of the 1,100 business failures a month during the first six months of 1956. This was a postwar record. Yet it was an inevitable reflection of a rapid climb in business starts (from 348,000 to 406,000 in 1951) five years ago. Said Dun & Bradstreet: more than 50% of the failures were in businesses under five years old; more than 90% could be traced to "inexperience." To attack this problem, the Administration last week completed a sweeping 14-point program...
...group of madrigals and chansons, performed with a semichorus, went very well save for a couple of imprecise entrances. Outstanding was Monteverdi's Dorinda, with its tortured Mannerist harmonies. "The Promise of Living," from Copland's opera The Tender Land (1953), went far better than on the Chorus' telecast, owing to the use of more singers and rehearsals.

...novelty on the program was Kirk Mechem's amusing Rules for Behavior (1955). Effectively written, it shows much the same style and spirit as Irving Fine's Alice in Wonderland music. Also of recent vintage was "The Promise of Living" from Copland's opera The Tender Land. This warm work needs a slightly larger body of singers. The concert ended with Vaughan William's hearty Let All the World in Every Corner Sing, which wanted only a more robust accompaniment...
Born to Be With You (Chordettes; Cadence). The girls give out their tender message with ringing fervor; in fact, this group sounds like Aunt Alice's hymn-sing gone...
