Jokes and anecdotes spark offbeat wartime humor

A montage of quips from workers, a draft officer, and urban city life. A waitress vows silence, a recruit dodges a gut check, and a groom’s payment to a father in law hints at tribal custom. Jake recalls wartime housing, Mamie jokes Niagara Falls, and teens joke about a kiss and gum.

A Tan Lover’s Quip Echoes In Gentle Jests

A collection of short tales and witticisms opens with a zealous father discussing religion with his son and a garbage man’s faith amid mishap. It moves through a craftsman’s motto comparing work with hands, head, and heart to a salesman, then ends with a playful flirtation about a lover’s hair and lips with a comical coffee cup rim remark.

Wings Over Jordan advocates interracial goodwill in San Francisco

Calvin's Digest by Raynard Whitney recounts Glenn T. Settle and Wings Over Jordan touring in a Booker T. Washington hotel lobby praising music as a bridge across races. The piece links their integration ethic to Supreme Court debates on censorship, citing Lena Horne and the Pinky case, and condemns race-based film censorship as totalitarian.
