Bridges to Pest. Trade with the West is one thing; adoption of Western economic devices is quite another. Though Rumania has yet to employ such capitalist devices as profit incentives and supply-demand marketing, Poland and Hungary are working in that direction. But it is East Germany and Czechoslovakia that lead the region in dynamic planning. Long dogmatic in its imitation of the Soviet pattern, the Czech party last December took...
...This is the true story -- this is how it was," Papatakis claims at the very beginning. Then he tells the story, of how the two lesbian sisters have remained in the employ of a provincial bourgeois family for three years without pay, of how the family cannot fire the maids because they cannot meet the back-wages, and of how the sisters become increasingly disaffected with their de facto slavery and eventually lose their sanity...
Chris Marker, for example, has extended Godard's use of natural settings to its logical extreme, the poetic documentary. Marker's The Kimono Mystery and Jetee, both only sixty minutes along, use real people rather than actors and employ the cinema-verise technique of interviews rather than dialogue.

Taking the Plunge. Thomas has not yet graduated into the ranks of the full-fledged heldentenor. Basically, this requires a voice with the coloring of a baritone and the range of a tenor. Unlike the bel canto tenor who must employ vocal embroidery, the heldentenor must possess the raw power and endurance to sing the weightiest and longest roles in opera. The supreme tests are Wagner's Tristan and Siegfried, which require 65 and 90 minutes respectively, as compared, say, with the 22 minutes for Tosca. Lauritz Melchior, the last great heldentenor, did not attempt Tristan until...
