WHEN the most paradoxical prelate of his day arrived in Rome last week, TIME'S Vatican Correspondent William Rospigliosi was so eager to see him that he all but climbed a wall of the visitor's residence to get a glimpse. Next day Rospigliosi saw Poland's Stefan Cardinal Wyszynski closer up for a background talk. From Warsaw two TIME correspondents relayed their findings on the publicity-shy cardinal to the Bonn bureau, which incorporated exhaustive research among Polish refugees in Germany. In Pittsburgh TIME'S correspondent interviewed U.S. travelers who had recently seen Wyszynski. Result...
Many Florentines, possibly including La Pira himself, were convinced that this dramatic gesture would shock the Social Democrats into submission. But when the city council met again last week, the majority of its members proved ready and eager to find another mayor. Unfazed, La Pira pulled another card out of his sleeve: along with 24 Christian Democrats and two right-wing Liberals, he resigned from the council itself.

Another eager to run is Magsaysay's old enemy Claro Recto, who was puppet Foreign Minister. It was not an impressive lineup...
Good & "Loverly." Because there are so many eager applicants for the workshop, roles are often double-cast; e.g., at last week's rehearsal there were two Rodolfos (Lindsey Bergen alongside Tenor Surface), and all of the singers double as members of the chorus. In all, nine singers were gathered in the rehearsal studio (each one had brought a score and paid 50? for the studio's weekly rental). "Straight through, and this time it will be very good," said Conductor Allers, and then he pounded out the famous score on a battered concert grand. Sight-reading their roles...
