...rather unsteady and hesitant, although thoroughly charming, while Venus and Pluto were not relaxed enough in their stage bearing. These imperfections, however, were outweighed by the general excellence of the production: the competent singing, the fine instrumental support, and the brilliant costumery, designed by Anne Hollander--all under the apt direction of Robert Beckwith. The setting, moreover, was very appropriate: the antique statuary and columnwork of the Fogg Courtyard blended well with the archaic twang of the harpsichords, the delicate timbre of the lutes, and the Renaissance line of Monteverdi's melody--austere, exuberant, or poignant...
...Egyptian army), struck hardest in the coastal plain, always at night. No citizen of the tiny republic was safe from the "Nights of Horror," as Cairo's newspaper Al Akh-bar jubilantly headlined the raids, and never was a U.S. diplomat's remark more terrifyingly apt: "Every Israeli sleeps within 20 miles of an Arab knife...
Bandaranaike's upset victory over Sir John Kotelawala (TIME. April 16) was apt to prove much more than a change of clothes.

...Race You. In 1920 C.U. recalled Father Smith as an instructor of philosophy (among his first students: the future Bishop Fulton Sheen). Soon the whole campus became acutely aware of the bluff young priest and his odd habits. At any time he was apt to march up to a student and say, "Come on, I'll race you to Gibbons Hall." Sometimes, just for the exercise, he would take the B. & O. to Rockville, 16 miles away, then return to campus by walking 100 yards, running the next 100, walking the next, and so on. He became a fixture...
