...Violence Commission, U.S. District Judge A. Leon Higginbotham Jr. urged a moratorium on all commissions to solve social problems. There had been too much study, he complained, and too little action. Of course, if the President were to act on this advice, he would probably start by appointing a brand-new commission to study the feasibility of abolishing all commissions. The commissioners, after months of laborious research, would doubtless issue a unanimous report urging their immediate abolition. The study would be widely publicized, thoughtfully analyzed-and then suffer the fate of other such reports. In all likelihood, the President would...
...fancy new productions: Herbert von Karajan's long-awaited Siegfried, Orfeo ed Euridice, Weber's gloomily romantic Der Freischutz, and a Russian-language Boris Godunov. But the Met's first week will probably open with Aïda and Leontyne Price, and there are plans for brand-new productions by Franco Zeffirelli of Cavalleria Rusticana and Pagliacci, along with Renata Tebaldi's Tosca and a so-far-uncast La Traviata.

...with interior energy and hot creativity. New companies are being born. Old companies are being rejuvenated. Ballet groups are crisscrossing the country, offering a bewildering assortment of dances, some fiery and full of meaning, some backed by rock music and psychedelic lighting, some conventional and harmonious. Two groups are currently drawing more attention and stirring more delight than any others. One is John Cranko's rollicking Stuttgart Ballet (TIME, June 20), now being seen by U.S. audiences on a 15-city cross-country tour. The other is New York's brand-new dance group, Eliot Feld...
Suite Hearts. The Dean of the Biplane Set is House Speaker McCormack, 77. He came to Washington as a freshman Congressman in 1928 with his bride Harriet and moved into a furnished suite in the then brand-new Washington Hotel. They are still there. The suite, the hotel and the McCormacks have grown into dignified and genteel old age together. The McCormacks never entertain and rarely go out in the evening. One party they never miss: the annual White House dinner in the Speaker's honor. Mrs. McCormack invariably wears the same black dress. The rest of the year...
