Next day. Premier Benkhedda caved in and accepted the authority of the new politburo. Though Ben Bella was still 285 miles away in Tlemcen, Benkhedda's Cabinet ministers began to flee Algiers, leaving Benkhedda holed up in the Palais d'Eté, guarded by a company of loyal soldiers. (Toward week's end, the ministers shamefacedly began to slink back into the city; one sneaked upstairs to his quarters in the Hotel Aletti through the back door.) Two government ministers, however, left Algiers not in flight but ostensibly to fight. Tough, able Belkacem Krim, who conducted...
...transportation. Budd Co., the Philadelphia trainmaker, dropped 28% in sales, and Douglas Aircraft 33%. And as in 1960, 24 of the nation's biggest industrial companies actually operated at a loss. General Dynamics, which lost a massive $143 million on its jet-transport debacle (TIME, Sept. 15 et seq.), led the red-ink list. It was followed by J.I. Case (loss: $32 million), Yuba Consolidated ($14 million), Ling-Temco-Vought ($13 million), Underwood ($9 million) and Hearst ($9 million). Of these seven heavy losers, all but Ling-Temco-Vought had also...

As he falls, Basehart manages to wrench the heart when he painfully recognizes his murderer and pronounces his name in surprised disbelief--a moment as touching as Caesar's "Et tu, Brute...
Medieval Wonder. On opening night the curtain at Glyndebourne rose ten minutes late, at 5:40. The opera was Debussy's Pelleas et Melisande, the first French work ever done at Glyndebourne. The dreamily romantic settings, highlighted by ingenious lighting effects, perfectly conveyed the sense of medieval wonder that is an important part of the opera. The cast had been painstakingly and expertly drilled by Conductor Vittorio Gui. In the pit the Royal Philharmonic sounded first-rate-particularly so in a theater whose sharp acoustics are ideally adapted to Debussy's richly inlaid instrumental patterns...
...Expansion Act, now being worked over by the House Ways and Means Committee, pushes far beyond the old reciprocal trade program. It would empower the President to slash U.S. tariffs by 50% or more-all the way down to zero on important categories of manufactured goods (TIME, Jan. 26 et seq.). But against this grave challenge, the protectionists have put up a flabby fight. The vigor and zeal of yesteryear are gone...
