...with Casals," said Violinist Yehudi Menuhin. "He's in wonderful form, full of vigor and attack. He's taken off 15 pounds since his illness. Walks every morning-three kilometers-and rests in the afternoon." Recovered from a heart attack in Puerto Rico (TIME, April 29, 1957), Cellist Casals was back in the town of Prades (pop. 5,000) on the edge of the French Pyrenees, where he resumed his concert career eight years ago as an exile from Franco's Spain.

...Norwegian square-rigged windjammer Christian Radich and followed its bouncing cruise, wave to wave, from Oslo to the Caribbean to New York. More than two hours long-winded, the Windjammer splashes into numerous ports of call, catches some fine scenes of native dances and fireworks parties. Other good shots: Cellist Pablo Casals playing a Catalan ballad in a Puerto Rican garden; a panoramic tour of Norwegian fjords; a vibrant Caribbean sunset, gold and red against a serene black sea. The whole thing would have made a great 20-minute short...
