...great pianists, as an example of a Soviet artist who travels happily in and out of his homeland. "A travesty of truth," replied Ashkenazy from Greece, where he was vacationing. Indeed, the pianist has not set foot on Russian soil since 1963, when he fled Moscow in fear and disgust. Ashkenazy explained that he had been forbidden to travel for three years after his U.S. tour in 1958, and was later granted an exit visa only on condition that his wife remained in Russia as a "moral hostage." Eventually, Khrushchev gave them permission to travel together, arid once they left...
...scene demonstrated more clearly than ever before the pervasiveness of a national subculture of drugs. At least 90% of those present at the festival were smoking marijuana. In addition, narcotics of any and all description, from hash to acid to speed to horse, were freely available.

German Catholic Theologian Johannes Metz agrees. Don Sergio's benign but active leadership, says Metz-who is dedicating...
...Fears of Recession. The big fear among bankers is that the Federal Reserve will misinterpret the decline in interest rates, which bankers regard as a sign that tight-money policies are succeeding in cooling the economy. If the Board instead concludes that lower rates signify that the nation's money supply should be tightened even more, the resulting squeeze on banks could have serious repercussions.
