...onstage. The music was infectious, the staging deft, and the singing bearable. The Choreography Committee had a sense of humor. The tunes were surprisingly good, and even if some were stolen, they were stolen with taste, the same way Anthony Newly does it. Arrangements a la The Fantasticks and chord progressions from jazz standards...
...there is little likelihood that the farm mess will be solved in the near future. Any substantial answer lies elusively between the extremes represented by Charles Shuman and Willard Cochrane. The Shuman Farm Bureau approach, calling for complete freedom in the marketplace, strikes a deep emotional chord but runs head-on into economic and political difficulties. Cochrane's solution, a farmer-proof system of mandatory production controls, defies the character and political power of the farmer...
Frei flew to Paris from Rome in Charles de Gaulle's personal Caravelle and got a warm reception from De Gaulle at the airport. At a press luncheon, Frei called for an "Alliance for Progress" between Europe and Latin America, then plucked a mildly anti-U.S. chord that warmed De Gaulle.

Responsive Chord. The all-Starrs at least had the consolation of being on to a good thing. Their gown-featured in the June Vogue and snapped up by such fashion luminaries as Mrs. William Paley and Actress Anita Colby-is the dress of the month, and sounds one of the strongest fashion chords of 1965: the one-bare shoulder look. Jackie Kennedy may have triggered the trend when she wore a black crepe version for her first formal outing after a year of mourning. It has been used by Balenciaga in a $3,000 evening sari, by Givenchy...
