...cross that stubborn thumb of East Germany that separates Berlin from the West; one third arrives by rail, a third by truck, a third by barge. But governing Mayor Willy Brandt, a World War II resistance hero who looks as if he could fill the shoes of the late Bur germeister Ernst Reuter of blockade-days' fame, let it be known that his government has stashed away six months' supplies of fuel, food and medicine, valued at $180 million. If it came to a showdown, there were always the three air lanes from the West along which...
...least ten of which will probably see an opening night on Broadway. The list ranges from the operatic Ballad of Baby Doe (TIME, July 16) to a musical adaptation of Voltaire's Candide by Lillian (The Little Foxes) Hellman, Conductor-Composer Leonard Bernstein and Poet Richard Wil bur.

He called it a "dramatic cantata," and meant it to be performed as a theater piece. At 59, still living near his native Munich, Orff no longer writes for the concert hall. Says he: "Melody and speech belong together. I reject the idea of a pure music...
Recent months have proved that a movie in three dimensions does not necessarily have depth; A Lion is in the Streets demonstrates that a picture in Technicolor is not necessarily colorful. In fact, in every respect bur one, this film is drab and pale. The exception is James Cagney's portrayal of Hank Martin, the ambitious backwoods peddler who almost "lynched a whole state." Against the rest of the film, Martin stands out like a Lutree potrait superimposed on a black-and-white pencil sketch...
