From Washington,* the U.P. filed a detailed story on the State Department's wholly logical explanation for the spaceman stories: they had apparently been inspired by an Orson Wellesian rocket opera broadcast Sunday by Radio Moscow.

Boston's WCRB, which pioneered in stereophonic sound, is offering a record 128 hours of concert music a week, and Westinghouse Broadcasting Co.'s four new "FM only" outlets are making a pitch...
...that, in the sense of the Marschallin's words, she is still the same. In a dozen "master classes" last fall, retired Soprano Lehmann coached 30 students from London's Opera School and young professionals from the Royal Opera House.
