...With the clatter of pots and pans in the political kitchen, the cries of brawling candidates in the national living room, and the static of charge and countercharge on the party line, the true voice of the U.S. political system has a hard time getting through to the people. But last week, for a moment in history, the election-year hubbub died low, the lines cleared, and from San Francisco came the clear tones of a political leader turning squarely to the future of a Republican Party once known, however justly, for its dedication to the past...
...What a swellegant day for a picnic," burbles Ne'er-Do-Weil Ned Claypoole, as the platitudes clatter with the clods over his mother's coffin. But for Ned's 16-year-old daughter Lovey, the April day of deliverance from grandma's tyranny turns heavy with foreboding. Lovey, The Beautiful Blind Girl, can see again-but she has cunningly preserved her three-week secret. For sight regained means Paradise Lost: an end to the antic freedom accorded Lovey by the town, and eviction from the cemetery's marble orchard which, blind, she has been...

While all this ideological clatter goes on, archaically reminiscent of Manhattan's literary climate in the '30s, Anne goes off to the U.S. (Simone made a tour of the U.S. in 1947). In Chicago Anne meets a novelist whose special province is slum life ("Why are all your best friends pickpockets, or drug addicts...
...clatter of applause rose last week in St. Louis' Kiel Auditorium Opera House as one of the city's most distinguished citizens appeared on the stage. Debonair, white-haired Vladimir Golschmann, 62, bowed; this Parisian son of Russian parents was obviously very much at home. Then he turned, and whisked his baton over the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra. On the program: Pianist Lukas Foss, playing his own Concerto No. 2. Conductor Golschmann has led his orchestra for 25 years-longer than the tenure of any other U.S. conductor now working...
