...statesmen signed-first Belgium's Paul-Henri Spaak, who presided over the drafting of the treaties, then Christian Pineau of France, Konrad Adenauer of Germany, Antonio Segni of Italy, Joseph Bech of Luxembourg and Joseph Luns of The Netherlands. Hardheaded politicians all, the signers were only too aware that the treaties might yet fail to win ratification in one or another of their parliaments (particularly the French), but even that realization could not dim the drama and promise of the moment. "If we succeed," said Belgium's Spaak, "today will be one of the most important dates...
...sent students burrowing through monastery attics, museums and castles in search of long-lost scores. One of the more esoteric recent finds has come from the Escolanía (music school) of Montserrat in Spain, where California-born Pianist Frederick Marvin unearthed a hoard of keyboard sonatas by Padre Antonio Soler, 18th century Spain's only great instrumental composer.

Rumors of their plotting reached Buenos Aires, and an "absolutely trustworthy" assistant warden was assigned specifically to foil any escape. His salary for this task: $86 a month. One midnight last week, while other penitentiary officials made merry at a local fiesta, the special warden unlocked the prison doors and escorted Antonio...
...time. Unlike most, he devoted himself from the start strictly to politics rather than other topical matters, praising democrats and making fun of strongmen. During the 1952 Panamanian elections he made his professional breakthrough with a glowing ditty about a democrat of sorts, the late President Jose Antonio ("Chichi") Remon. The lyrics, shunning excess modesty, called Remon "the saviour of Panama"; Remon used it as a campaign jingle, and after he won the election sent Kontiki a check for $250. For any rising young calypso singer, the next step was clear. Then only 16, Kontiki strolled into a local ginmill...
