Rocky came, and for 20 minutes talked about civil defense. Then he came to the point: he faced "problems" in connection with the New Hampshire primary," and wished Bridges would explain the state's complex primary law. Bridges dryly remarked that Rockefeller must have plenty of able lawyers, but he obliged anyway. Then Bridges laid his own ideas on the line. "I don't want to leave you with any misapprehension of my position," he said. "Everyone knows that I'm friendly with Dick Nixon and that it is my present intention to support...
...problems-mostly with one another. Though European leaders seemed to favor Khrushchev's U.S. visit, it had the side effect of demoting their own importance, and led them to jostle with one another. The Eisenhower mission to Europe was thus likely to prove far different-and far more complex-than originally anticipated...
...Venice's International Festival of contemporary music last year (TIME, Oct. 6), Stravinsky got his wish. The composer's Threni, id est Lamentationes ]eremiae Prophetae (i.e., Threnody, Lamentations of the Prophet Jeremiah) is a complex, 33-minute work for six vocal soloists, chorus and full orchestra, and the bass part, ranging from middle B-flat to low E-flat, is the most difficult of all.

The result, reports Gibney, can sometimes be as bewildering as that wondrous two-headed animal of Hugh Lofting's Dr. Dolittle stories, the "Push-me Pull...
...Japanese emphasis on precision and heavy industrial products? Much of it stems from pressure by U.S. producers, who have forced Japan to clamp quotas on its lighter, less complex exports, e.g., textiles, tuna, stainless steel flatware, umbrella frames. The insular Japanese live or die by trade. Particularly must they export to the U.S.; last year their imports from the U.S. ran 55% ahead of their exports. Thus they have decided that if the U.S. tightens one market, the way to compete is simply to turn to another...
