Scope and content

18, Earls Terrace, London, W.8. - Munich sounds 'magnificent'; his parents are in Alassio at last, describes their visit as Green Park civilization in Tuscany; Brian has gone to Venice on a whim; agrees that 'Mack the Knife' is good, doesn't like Satchmo's version, prefers Weill's, thinks the whole score [of 'Threepenny Opera'] is remarkable; describes his love life, calling himself 'an old And Yettist', not entirely happy at the moment, but is willing to accept that 'exploration is the only conceivable rule of life'.
