I found the book a pretty good assessment of Kenton's career. Read it all the way through even if I have never been able to enter the man's post-60s music. I wish Sparke had dwelt a bit more on Kenton's dealings with non-white sidemen but overall it left me with quite a lot of respect with Kenton's dedication to his orchestra and music.

Shame on the Olympic officials for allowing a woman competitor from Saudi Arabia to take part in the women's judo event with a modified hijab AP story in The Washington Post The officials obviously bypassed the Olympic Charter principles that ban the use of religious, political or racial discrimination.

Oh pardon! My mistake. Fixed that...
