...only all the players had been up to 'cellist Charles Forbes! The group has done much better in the past. Sarah-Jane Smith the concert's featured soloist, singing four works in four languages. Well-trained and agile voice, but tone tended to be too breathy. Most noteworthy was Ch'io mi scordi te?, one of those demanding "concert arias" that are in effect extensive, multisectional operatic scenes for one person...
...Hiss, convicted perjurer and disbarred lawyer, in his first public speech since his release from the Lewisburg federal pen in 1954, turned out to be tame and dull.

She is like the heroine of an old movie serial, with the important difference that where the movie heroine was chained fully clothed to the tracks to be torn asunder by the Santa Fe express, Caroline is generally denuded by pursuers intent on joining her in union specific. As she herself sportingly admits at a critical moment (she is hanging almost naked from a rafter in a subzero temperature): "There is something better to do with . . . women than...
