I've mentioned on another thread that Richard Dyer-Bennet was also recruited to compose topical songs for the OSS radio broadcasts, as war news broke. I only have one copy of a protest song he composed having to do with the Nazi occupation of Norway but there are more song title references in the Richard Dyer-Bennet thread.

Mrrzy-

My apologies for ignoring Julia Child's "defrosting" instructions. She was indeed a pioneer.

Cheerily,
