Swarowsky is scarcely more lovable afterhours. Sometimes he stalks the streets of Vienna, scowling and conducting to himself to avoid greeting passersby. He admits to a great "mania to convince everybody about everything," and many of his outspoken opinions are less than gracious. His hottest public feud is with gifted Opera Conductor Karl Böhm, who, he thinks, has an "impossible" technique and is too lax with singers. Partly because of these traits, partly because of the didacticism of his approach, Swarowsky has never made great headway as a practicing conductor. It is only when he conducts his classes...
...nickname of "The Volcano and the Snow"-he has, at times, been put down by Ho. An outburst against a French general in 1945 cost him a place on the negotiating team that tried to win independence from France at the end of World War II. A running feud with two powerful Politburo members-whose pro-Peking sentiments were resented by the strongly nationalistic Giap-kept him well down in Hanoi's Communist pecking order. Although he is North Viet Nam's Defense Minister, military commander and Vice Premier-and a popular hero second only...
Something New. Successor Spater springs from a completely different background. Born in Detroit, he studied law at the University of Michigan ('33), spent his time in corporate practice until he joined American in 1959 as general counsel.

The agreement, however, is only a temporary mask that covers but does not diminish the basic enmity between the two men. "Without question," says a confidant of the King, "Nasser is the No. 1 devil to Feisal...
Falling Sparrows. Unlike Ike, who set up military lines of command and delegated considerable responsibility, Johnson wants to be in on everything. His night reading, often a five-inch-thick stack of memos and cables, covers everything from the latest CIA intelligence roundup to a gossipy report on a feud between two Senators. Not a sparrow falls, says a former aide, that he doesn't know about...
