Only five Senators were in the chamber when a well-dressed, goateed Negro jumped up in the gallery and shouted: "How can you say you are protecting the black man if only five are here? I thought this was America, the land of the free. This involves 20 million people." Guards moved in, took the man off for mental tests...
...Senate's critic showed up just two days later, he might have been happier. Now the chamber was jammed with huddling, whispering Senators. What was up? Unbelievably, a vote. Having consumed 32 days and some 3,000,000 words on the civil rights bill without getting anywhere, the Senate was about to vote for the first time on amendments...
...plans were enough to prostrate the most gallant music manager. Isaac Stern, Leonard Rose and Eugene Istomin-three top-dollar virtuosos-had teamed up to make chamber music together. Their audience might shrink to the size of the small halls in which trios usually play-and the take, of course, would be split three ways. But the trio had played an intriguing handful of concerts in the past, and bound by 20 years' friendship, they defiantly formed their alliance.

They hark back instead to the years before World War I when French Pianist Alfred Cortot, French Violinist Jacques Thibaud and Pablo Casals were the presiding maestri. Even the great trio of the '40s-Heifetz, Feuermann and Rubinstein-is not in the running, for Stern, Rose and Istomin make up a trio unique in attitude as much as accomplishment. They play as if for themselves...
