PROXY TURNABOUT will send Fairbanks, Morse's President Robert H. Morse Jr. after seat on board of Penn-Texas Corp. at annual meeting in May. Insurgents plan to put up full slate of directors to oppose Penn-Texas' President Leopold Silberstein (TIME, Dec. 17 et seq.), who is fighting to win control of Fairbanks, Morse...
...between poetry and Strum and Drang lies in intensity of emotion or dramatic nature of the subject. Actually Goya's "Disasters of War," certainly more graphic than anything here, or Picasso's "Guernica," more symbolic and abstract than anything here, answer an emphatic no. For if Barlach, Kollwitz, Grosz, et al, utter an emotional cry from the blackness of chaos and confusion, it is Picasso and Goya who offer, with emotion disciplined. "right" and "inevitable," an answer which cannot help being true...
...strings were joined by winds and harp (the latter quite a rarity on a Harvard stage) for Gabriel Faure's suite for Pelleas et Melisande, Opus 80. Faure was unsurpassed in the combination of subtle harmonies and delicate colorings; and the four movements of this suite contain some of his most exquisite writing, such as the shimmering muted violins in "La Fileuse" and the tinges of modal harmony in "Mort de Melisande."

One of the men was Fidel Castro, 30, the strapping, bearded leader of the never-say-die band of anti-Batista rebels who strike and run from hideouts in eastern Cuba's Sierra Maestra range (TIME, Feb. 25 et ante). The other was Herbert Matthews, 57, veteran war reporter (Ethiopia, Spain, Italy) of the New York Times. In a series of three articles this week, Herb Matthews, now a Times editorial writer, told how he crossed the battle lines, described the rebels' guerrilla life, and firmly concluded that Strongman...
...proof that the rapscallion was "not a genius" but just plain "mad." Rasped Stewart: "He thinks he's God!" The diary, noted newsmen, was indeed rather bizarre. Excerpt: "How extraordinary that my fame should have corresponded with that of James Dean, Elvis Presley, Bill Haley and Lonnie Donegan, et al. Like James Joyce and the Dadaists ... I have always wanted to be worshiped ... I must live on-longer than anyone else has ever lived. I am the most serious man of our age." Not far from the locale of this British parlor farce, Wilson's estranged wife deplored...
