While Dietrich is making records in London, Fischer is giving a lieder recital at Carnegie Hall, and Dieskau is appearing as Falstaff at the West Berlin Opera. Or so one critic claims.

It is just that, as one of the world's busiest, most sought-after singers, he often seems to be-smiling, stage center, ready to go -everywhere at once.

Conant to President John H. Fischer of Columbia University's Teachers College...
...major changes are planned for Harper's. Since 1955, its circulation has increased from 190,000 to 280,000, its advertising revenue has quadrupled (to $1,600,000 in 1964). Says Cowles: What Jack Fischer's been doing suits me to a T. I want more...
