...ever broke out, no matter how outrageous the circumstances of the powers that be." But you won't find in Time equally important statements which are less to its liking: "When we were told that by freedom we meant free enterprise, we did very little to dispel this monstrous falsehood," or Miss Arendt's observation on the "unchained, unbridled private initiative of capitalism, which in the absence of natural wealth has led everywhere to unhappiness and mass poverty." It is precisely "unhappiness and mass poverty"--partially the child of irresponsible capitalism--which creates the revolutions Time is so piously anxious...
...attention; but it's still not worth buying. Sir Adrian chose Miss Joan Sutherland as his soprano soloist, and it was a noble choice, but, unfortunately, Sir Adrian is a man who thinks that Miss Sutherland can only sing well when she is singing Puccini (a palpable falsehood). Consequently, Sir A. has ripped Handel's oratorio untimely from its century, making it as operatic Victorian as he possibly can. The result is an orchestra sprawling and unkempt, singers bawling and dyspeptic, and tempi crawling and inept. (London A-4357--you'll recognize the album by the ugly crucifix...
...Every word crackled as Stevenson sailed into Zorin for crying falsehood at the U.S. charge of a missile buildup in Cuba. "Let me say something to you, Mr. Ambassador." he told Zorin. "we do have the evidence!" He hammered at Soviet evasiveness and demanded an answer: "Do you, Ambassador Zorin, deny that the U.S.S.R. has placed and is placing medium-and intermediate-range missiles and sites in Cuba?

...were in Washington during those two wars found it difficult to see where the difference lay." The New York Herald Tribune's Washington Correspondent David Wise accused President Kennedy of deliberate deception, and decided that this was worse than the crisis itself: "If the line between truth and falsehood should become permanently clouded, then the republic, in an effort to combat the perils without, faces an even greater danger within." Editorialized the Los Angeles Times: "You can't both con the press and count...
...Messiah out this year (no surprise), but don't buy it. Joan Sutherland is its major attraction, and Sir Adrian Boult its conductor. And unfortunately, Sir Adrian is one of those who thinks that Miss Sutherland can only sing well when she is singing Puccini (a palpable falsehood). Consequently, Sir Adrian has ripped Handel's oratoria from its century, making it as operatic and as nineteenth-century as he can. The result is a sprawling, unkempt orchestra, bawling, dyspeptic singers, and crawling, inept tempos. (London A 4357--you'll recognize the album by the ugly crucifix on its cover...
