JAMES METCALF-Loeb, 12 East 57th. The polished brass sculptures of an American in Paris all have secrets, none of which will be told here, for the fun of walking around Metcalf's pieces is the surprise of revelation. In his second one-man show in New York he proves to be a sculptor with an extraordinary imagination, honed, perhaps, by considerable contact with the surrealists. Through June...
Goldwater had himself a bigger week -but it wasn't in Oregon. Barnum & Bailey had just closed out of Manhattan's Madison Square Garden when Barry moved in. A brass band blared away, multicolored balloons cascaded down from the rafters, and 100 "Goldwater Girls" pranced along the aisles, handing out literature to 18,000 partisans as they filed to their seats.

...United Nations trade conference had pre-empted the grandiose Palais des Nations, the GATT delegates had to forgo the peacock lawns and lakeside vistas to meet amid six scraggly potted palms in the salon of the Batiment Electoral, where the Swiss hold cantonal elections. On a floor below, the brass band of the Geneva Landwehr could be heard holding its rehearsals. The remarks of Chief U.S. Negotiator Christian A. Herter were punctuated by the faint oom-pah-pahs of the Landwehr as he warned: "The longer we procrastinate in setting the formulas by which these negotiations will proceed, the more...
