...Japanese relations were at their lowest postwar ebb. Student demonstrations against their country's security pact with Washington had culminated in the cancellation of a visit to Tokyo by President Eisenhower. In world affairs Japan still labored under the inferiority complex of a conquered nation. That fall, Foreign Affairs ran an essay titled "The Broken Dialogue" by Dr. Edwin Oldfather Reischauer, director of the Harvard-Yenching Institute dealing with Far Eastern studies. In his article Reischauer pointed up the "weakness of communication between the Western democracies and opposition elements in Japan"-and so impressed President-elect Kennedy that...
...THURSDAY NIGHT MOVIE (CBS, 9-11:15 p.m.). There's no doubt that Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Peter Lawford, Sammy Davis, Joey Bishop and fans had great fun back in 1960 making Ocean's Eleven, in which the clan goes clam digging in Vegas. But now that ebb's set in, it's pretty mucky...

That made it pretty certain that Red China's leaders are currently going through their own agonizing foreign policy reappraisal. To be sure, Chinese foreign policy problems in Africa, Indonesia and Cuba have been vexing. But China's greater...
Pedal & Heart. This ability to project the grand design of the music, to crystallize the ebb and flow of its inner voices, is at the foundation of Rubinstein's artistry. His music, especially compared with the neurotic fancy-flights of other pianists, is also remarkable for its sanity, directness and healthy emotionalism. Beyond that, he possesses an elegance of tone that is the envy of the profession. With a combination of pedal, touch and heart, he sings his way into the poetic soul of the music. He can take a diminuendo passage and without spoiling the line, make it grow...
