...CHRISTIAN ANTI-COMMUNISM CRUSADE, led by Dr. Fred Schwarz, 48, a genial, Australian-born physician and onetime Baptist lay preacher. Schwarz began his crusade in 1953, has become one of the principal figures of the rightist revival. Better read and less inflammatory than most of his counterparts, he avows it his purpose "fundamentally to inform, to teach, to educate" about Communism. He has drawn crowds of up to 15,000 in cities across the U.S., persuaded 41 mayors of California towns to declare an antiCommunism week, plans to invade New York City next July in "the biggest thing they...
...dinner party for Dodd, U.N. and diplomatic guests, and the best of Elisabethville society. When a sedan with U.N. license plates drove up, the soldiers were sure some kind of plot was being hatched. Quickly they surrounded the car, shouting and gesticulating wildly at the two startled occupants. Australian-born George Ivan Smith, acting U.N. chief in Katanga, and Brian Urquhart, a Briton transferred to the Congo from U.N. Manhattan headquarters only a few days before...
...with them came the end of the air search for Anthropologist Michael Clark Rockefeller, 23, last seen a fortnight earlier swimming away from his capsized boat in the shark-ridden Arafura Sea (TIME, Dec. 1).

He loved life. He was never happier than...
...crowd into the Met last week heard and witnessed the best modern demonstration of bel canto singing-which has come to mean the florid, highly ornamented vocal style that almost became extinct a century ago. Sutherland, 35, has brought new life to bel canto. Says she, in her breezy Australian style: "I love all those demented old dames of the old operas." The attraction is understandable, for Sutherland has just the voice to do the old dames justice. Crystalline, open-throated, reflex-quick, her voice can shower feathery trills on an audience or take perilous leaps with agility and astonishing...
...finds a singer moving from lighter to heavier roles. Sydney-born, the daughter of a tailor, she concentrated at first on Wagnerian roles because "I had the build for it" (she stood 5 ft. 9 in., weighed 224 Ibs., now weighs 170). Eventually, on the advice of her husband, Australian Pianist Richard Bonynge, she decided that the bel canto repertory was where she belonged. She put in seven years at Covent Garden while developing the voice that would lead...
