Richter was so exhausted for his final concert that he talked of canceling out, then appeared to play a brutal program of Hindemith's First Sonata, five Shostakovich preludes and fugues, Prokofiev's Sixth Sonata and, for encores, a bouquet of Prokofiev Visions Fugitives. Had his playing improved? Though the atmosphere that surrounded him could not help but candy the reviews, Paris could only say: "Such taste, such wonderful music, such flair...
...great coral "essential surface," painted in meticulous detail, becomes a bouquet of blood vessels. In another canvas, bits of torn flesh seem to be raining down like autumn leaves from one hell above to another hell beneath. A series of black-and-white paintings are as intricate as the veins of the eye or the sinews of the arm.

Like Jackie Kennedy, too. she has had a fling at journalism, notably last July, when she was barred from a private, nonpress showing by Couturier Hubert de Givenchy after it was learned that she was covering the Paris collections...
...range of articles is infinite -from a Quadrant magazine discussion of "Men Without Women in Australia" (by an agonized Czech who lives in Sydney) to a Russian general's treatise on the probable effects of thermonuclear war, reprinted from a Soviet scientific journal. Each issue carries a full bouquet of literary pieces and book reviews, dominated by the London and Paris press, and each offers a thematic study-several views of the same issue gathered from writers around the world...
