...readers of TIME'S 1956 cover story on Maria Meneghini Callas will remember (if not, see cut), the diva can sing like a bird and feud like a fishwife. Front pages ever since have attested to her tantrum power, and there have been moments when the sounds of her critics almost obscured the sound of her voice. But last week, in her first Metropolitan Opera appearance of the season, Callas the singer soared above Callas the shrew, and sang Traviata with an impassioned poignancy unmatched in years.

Turkey clamored for help in its feud with the Greeks over Cyprus. Iran called for U.S. missiles and more economic aid. Pakistan was particularly annoyed because the U.S. had just proposed $225 million aid to India, its neutralist neighbor and rival claimant of Kashmir.

...busy agenda that the Congress will face, one of the biggest items of debate will be disarmament policy. The normal forums for such discussions are the State Department, the White House, and the National Security Council. The big Texan with the big ideas, however, forcefully pulled the Stassen-Dulles feud into the Congressional repertoire. Calling for peace waged at the conference table, Johnson, who invited "all men of all nations" to its chairs, outbid the President. Eisen-hower simply held the door open to talks, but required credentials of good faith for those who want to pass the threshold...
