Last week in Cleveland without the slightest warning the Department of Justice cracked down with an anti-trust suit to block Tom Girdler's merger. At the same time suit was filed against seven individuals under an obscure section of the Clayton Act, charging interlocking directorships in ten independent steel companies including Republic and Corrigan, McKinney...

Five days later the same performers gave Lady Macbeth in Manhattan. Audiences in both cities were equally impressed with the naivete of Comrade Shostakovich. The 28-year-old composer, who looks like a schoolboy with thatched hair and horn-rimmed glasses, had borrowed his story from Nikolai Leskov, a long-dead author who made his murderess a fiend incarnate. Shostakovich read of her crimes and promptly...
