...taking office. The impression grew that, all other things being equal, he would favor career diplomats in appointments over politicians or their friends. Until last week the President had made 26 appointments, of which the career men had secured twelve (including China, Venezuela, Guatemala, Santo Domingo, Costa Rica et al), noncareer men eleven (including Britain, France, Germany, Cuba, Austria) and men betwixt-and-between three (Spain, Holland. Italy...
...house of Big Business are many handmaidens-Architecture, Engineering, Painting, Etching, Advertising, Interior Decorating, et al. This week they are joined by Publishing, a damsel who has visited the house before but always wearing statistical spectacles, a cashier's eyeshade, a warehouse apron or the plain smock of a trade. This time, for the first time, she came in as fine a dress as ever Publishing wore to wait on the Arts, Travel, Sport, Fashion or Society.

Now and then it should be remembered that roughly 12,000,000 Chinese stomachs are suffering the gnawing pains of slow starvation. Use less to repeat that thousands of parents are eating their children when they can catch them, thousands...
...wreak by the purification of opera. Few plots are essentially nice; heroines are usually either unfortunate girls who have been seduced (Marguerite in Faust, Santuzza in Cavalleria Rusticana) or unfaithful ones (Nedda in Pagliacci, Fiora in L'Amore dei Tre Re, Mélisande in Pelléas et Mélisande, Isolde in Tristan und Isolde). In To sea the plot hinges on whether Tosca will give herself to Scarpia to save Cavaradossi. Double beds are the most important properties in Der Rosenkavalier. Don Giovanni is a series of rakings. Yet an opera company which eliminated these...
