...accompanying. The four songs, based upon a German text, treat each of the seasons in turn: Fall (prayer), Winter (song of the inner soul), Spring (creation), and Summer (music of the spheres). Beveridge writes in a modal style. His lyrical melodies, though expressive, are seldom very distinctive. The pieces contain an abundance of material out of proportion to their length, for the music attempts to follow every change of the text without being sufficiently integrated. The form of the songs, as a result, is generally weak, although the first, in which the piano returns at the end to a phrase...
...condemn The Power Elite on the ground that "it will surely be read with great glee by anti-Americans everywhere." A great many honest American books contain criticisms of American society, and no doubt can be misused to make anti-American aropaganda. A great many stories in TIME lave been read "with great glee by anti-Americans everywhere." Anything in and about America can be misused for such purposes, and often is. Since when has this danger ever kept American writers from saying what they think, and since when has it kept intelligent American readers from judging such books...
When Thomas Dehler, leader of the second-largest party in Adenauer's coalition, demanded "a German foreign policy" and bilateral negotiations with the Russians, Adenauer on his sickbed could not contain himself.

Mrs. Fabyan contented herself with the relatively quieter companionship of a free-roving chimpanzee and a small private zoo of bears, wolves and coyotes...
...into small (average: 128 pages), low-priced (less than $1) segments, the first four volumes of The Encyclopedia of Catholicism in the Twentieth Century came off the presses last week. The rest will appear at the rate of two volumes a month for the next six years, and will contain "everything a Catholic could want to know on any subject in which his religion is involved." Daniel-Rops split up this "everything" into 14 categories-part one deals with faith and knowledge, part six (13 volumes) treats the Bible, part nine (19 volumes) handles "Problems of the World...
