...from the Communist Party in 1961. Suslov declared that the "antiparty" trio subscribed to the selfsame heresies as Mao. He singled out Molotov-who had variously been Soviet Premier (in 1930) and first editor of Pravda (1912)-for particular vituperation. Harking back to the murderous Soviet purges of the 1930s, Suslov accused Molotov of attempting to surpass Stalin's brutality-he "tried to be a better Catholic than the Pope."

...sing a song worth sixpence in the opera world of the 1930s, an American girl like Risë Stevens had to go to Europe for training, and she has always regarded that as a crying shame. Now the mezzo-soprano, 50, will have a chance to do something about it. She and Metropolitan Opera Executive Stage Manager Michael Manuel have been named general managers of the Met's new National Company, which will start touring the country full time in the fall of 1965.
