were able musicians, and Tommy
played the cornet at the age of
12, then majored in musical theo
ry at college, he no more in
tended to become a bandleader

did become a bandleader since
the course of events carried him
in that direction.

friends.- A new ene m y force
threatens the world.
And the name of Pearl Harbor
has become a generic phrase to
describe something which the
New America does not intend to
have happen again—anywhere.
