...embarked upon a slithering, 15-year journey through the Communist underground of the world. He would appear shaven-headed in Thailand, disguised as a Buddhist monk; he would show up in the Latin Quarter of Paris, explaining to waiters how to prepare his food. In Canton, Ho worked for Borodin, the Russian intriguer who helped undermine China. In Singapore, Ho organized Southeast Asia's Comintern. And when IndoChina's Nationalist Party rebelled against the French in 1930, Ho Chi Minh played it coldly; although he was constantly posing as a Nationalist, Ho and his Reds stood aside...

But Kismet is too weighted down with finery to be at all fast on its feet, and even with Alfred Drake to pace it, most of it is just resplendently tedious...
Baubles, Bangles and Beads (Lu Ann Simms; Columbia). A little number expressing innocent joy in jewelry, charmingly vocalized by Songstress Simms and bespangled with instrumental baubles. Originally composed by Borodin (Prince Igor), although he gets no label credit...
