...facts on Musicman Clark, investigators were widening their search. New York County D.A. Frank Hogan subpoenaed the financial records of eleven record companies; one owner immediately announced that he had a pile of canceled $100 checks endorsed by disk jockeys. The story would take some time to unfold. "The last thing most people in this industry want is to clean it up," admitted one musicman. "It's too lucrative for too many people...
Policy on the Move. Concern with "softness" goes deeper. Said the Rev. Homer McEwen, Negro pastor of Atlanta's First Congregational Church: "We have lost our traditional thrust toward a moral society." Watching the modern morality play unfold in Washington, a Bostonian remarked: "The awful thing about the quiz show scandals is that we're looking at ourselves."

Gagaku's dances unfold stories of childlike simplicity in a context of barbaric splendor: a Mongol wanders the forest seeking a golden snake, finds it coiled at his feet, crouches in his stiffly encrusted robes to eat it, performs an angular dance of joy; four dancers in court dress, with cherry blossoms in their headgear, unfold with caressing steps from a circle, suggesting the blossoms in the imperial garden opening under the May sun.

He is queer for trains, and, as the scenes seen from the windows unfold and blur into episodes from his raffish life, it is clear that he is queer about a lot of other things, too-notably small steamboats, chaffinches, a girl called Yvette, and an uncle with the improbable name of Melchizedek. Desmond begins his maniacally brilliant reveries after a gaseous bout at the dentist's, where he acquires new crockery, i.e., false teeth, and a desire...
...Script for BB. Both Authors Caulfield and Moscow skillfully let the facts unfold their dramas. Novelist Cecil Scott (Hornblower) Forester takes the opposite tack, prefaces his little Bismarck book with the warning: "This is as it may have happened. The speeches are composed by the writer." In The Ship (1943) Briton Forester showed that he could get inside the skins and skulls of British naval officers and ratings. But in his saga of the great BB (battleship) Bismarck, half the protagonists are German, and Forester's attempts at characterization lapse into caricature. The lines he has written for them...
