...Hatching Cunning Schemes." The climax of the hate campaign came with an address given by Khrushchev to the workers of the Elektrosila factory in Leningrad, and broadcast nationally. Khrushchev accused Malenkov, Molotov and Kaganovich of "hatching cunning schemes" to obtain "key positions in the party," and called Shepilov "a most shameless double-dealing individual...

Twentieth Century-Fox still seethed over Climax' play The Dark Wall, which the studio thinks resembled its forthcoming Three Faces of Eve.

A 20-minute work, it is scored for "twelve dancers and twelve notes," calls for the largest orchestra since Stravinsky's Symphony in Three Movements (1945). The fast, heavily percussioned score is cast in patterns of enormous rhythmic complexity. In its sheer harmonic and rhythmic invention, its virility, its brilliance of orchestration, the work is among the most dazzling music...
