...Bold Relief. Last week the de Pasquale String Quartet made its Manhattan debut in Town Hall and all was sweet accord. Billed as the FIRST ALL-BROTHER QUARTET IN MUSICAL HISTORY, they were a trifle jittery in the opening Hayden Quartet in D Minor, Op. 76, but soon found their stride. Turning to the contemporary, their readings of Quincy Porter's Quartet No. 3 and Vin cent Persichetti's Quartet No. 2 crackled with clean precision. In Dvorák's Quar tet in F Major, Op. 96, their tempos, if sometimes inflexible, were brisk and lively...
This was no easy exercise, particularly for an Administration that prizes pragmatism above all. It had nonetheless succeeded so far. By week's end, at least, near-anarchy had been succeeded by a tenuous accord in Saigon. The Military Directory, headed by Premier Nguyen Cao Ky, had survived, but with lost face and a doubtful future. The U.S. would still be dealing with the Directory as it prepared to hold elections to give the country a civilian government. But Washington would have to pay increasing attention to Tri Quang, the infrangible Buddhist prelate who had emerged as the country...
What emerged was a typically Vietnamese solution: complex, murky and bafflingly illogical. Ky and the Buddhists reached a secret accord in which the Directory bowed to the bonzes' demands. Then, to everyone's surprise, the supposedly anti-Buddhist congress adopted as its own program the Buddhist demands that Ky had already accepted in private. Thus, Chief of State Nguyen Van Thieu and Ky appeared before the congress to decree themselves, in effect, a caretaker government. Clearly not happy about it, Ky warned that "I will fight any government that will not secure the people's happiness and fight Communism...
...testing of Tri Quang may come sooner than that. At week's end 2,500 rioters, ignoring the Saigon accord, swept through Danang and publicly burned the Ky proclamation for elections. They demanded that the generals step down immediately. With ousted General Thi openly agreeing and much of I Corps in rebellion against Saigon's control, Thich Tri Quang prepared this week to fly back home as a "peace envoy" to Hué, where lies his chief strength. Whether as peace envoy or missionary of discontent, he will more and more bear on his slim and restless shoulders the welfare...
...Washington's No. 1 topic last week, overpowering talk of Viet Nam, Charles de Gaulle and the Sino-Soviet split. Lyndon Johnson, who had hoped that the subject might vanish of its own accord, now found himself devoting an extraordinary amount of time to talking and thinking about it. "I remember," he told a convention of municipal officials at the Washington Hilton Hotel, "when you couldn't walk into any hostess's home without them saying, 'What do you think about McCarthy?' A month ago, it was 'What do you think about the pause...
