...Dissenters. Amidst the cheers Hammarskjold's Congo policy has won, there were voices of dissent. In London, Lord Beaverbrook's empire-minded Daily Express complained that U.N. intervention in the Congo "is an act of brigandage and oppression cloaked by sanctimoniousness . . . Every agitator in Africa looks with hope to Dag Hammarskjold." In Paris the right-wing L'Aurore asked: "Do we understand that in the Congo the first objective is to evict the Belgians and the second to re-establish on his cardboard throne this astonishing Lumumba?''

Although an early admirer of Wagner ("Richie Wagner did get away occasionally from doh, me, so," he wrote, "which was more than some others did"), Ives realized that he himself could not express what he wanted to say within the romantic tradition.

...their shrewdest strategy is in making the U.S. the villain: "If the United States did not exist, perhaps the Cuban revolution would invent it; for it is the United States which conserves the freshness and originality of the revolution." Not to be outdone, Paris' weekly L'Express commissioned one of France's ranking Left Bankniks for similar duty. It sent 25-year-old Françoise Sagan, confector of adult bedtime stories (Bonjour Tristesse, A Certain Smile), off to Cuba in low-heeled shoes. Her considered opinion: Cuba-shmooba. In her first installment, published last week...
