Whereupon Icardi made a point which, whether he is guilty or innocent, has considerable force. Said he: "It is unthinkable that an American espionage agent should be brought to trial by the very enemy against which he fought." Icardi said that he would fight extradition, but was ready and eager to stand trial in a U.S. court. He even offered to go back into the Army to make that possible. The Government, however, still said that no U.S. court could try him, even if he went back into the Army...
Increasingly, chamber music pays. For a concert performance, the Budapest gets at least $800. Annual earnings: about $25,000 a man (to which record royalties contribute about $5,000 apiece). Audiences still thrive on the standard 17th and 18th Century repertory, but the quartet has found some listeners eager for modern cacophonies and "deeper stuff," adds a smattering here & there of late Beethoven, Bartok and Schoenberg. Four U.S. composers whose music has been added to the repertory this year: Lukas Foss, Quincy Porter, Walter Piston and Samuel Barber. Television? Not yet, says Spokesman Schneider.

Moving on to gullible San Francisco, where wealthy climbers are eager to fawn on English nobility, the maid passes for a marchioness and the blue blood for the perfect butler. Their plans go awry, and the comedy shifts from drawing room to bedroom, when Lady Greer arouses the ardor of a hot-blooded California aristocrat (Fernando Lamas) at a weekend party...
...Eager to Learn. Last year, as his footwork began to catch up with his booming power, Dick fought his way to the semifinals of the Nationals at Forest Hills. U.S. Champion Art Larsen stopped him cold, but Savitt was tagged as a comer, and ranked sixth. Last winter, Savitt went on a barnstorming trip to Australia.There he began to reach peak form, partly under the tutelage of Veteran Adrian Quist. Says Quist: "He was ceaselessly eager to learn and profited promptly from every fragment of advice." Savitt crowned his tour by winning the Australian Championship.* In the four-set final...
