...Ernst Reuter, indomitable Mayor of Berlin, is one of the few authentically big figures in Western Europe, a fearless, consistent foe of Communism who meets the enemy without flinching or compromise. Long before other Western leaders, he saw his city in its true role, as Europe's outpost of freedom. He rallied his people in the critical months of the Red blockade. As an ally of the West, he looked good then. Now that Korea, like a lightning flash, has shown what may happen any time in Europe, his figure on the international scene bulks bigger than ever before...
Toward the Initiative. Ernst Reuter was not a man to concern himself unduly or exclusively with what the Communists might be brewing for his city and the rest of the Western camp. He preferred to think about a course of action for the free nations.

In his modest home in the suburb of Zehlendorf, in the U.S. sector, he got up every morning at 7:30 and ate a modest breakfast.

The title was barely out of his mouth when one listener piped up, "What has that to do with Bach?" When Dr. Meyer remarked that Thuringia-born Bach was nowhere honored as much as in the Soviet Union, another bellowed, "Aha! we knew this was coming." More than 100, who had come to hear Bach's music, walked...
...planning to keep The Consul running on Broadway for two years, Menotti thought it was high time to "watch out for success." He was not overly concerned with where he stood in the great operatic tradition. He had not discovered anything brand-new, and he knew it. Paul Hindemith, Ernst Krenek and the late Kurt Weill had broken the ground for him in Germany in the '20s. Austrian Atonalist Alban Berg's gloomy Wozzeck had moved opera musically miles from the Verdis and Monteverdis...
