...much modern Russian chamber music to be heard, but probably its finest example and a credit to any age is this quintet, written in 1940 shortly after the Sixth Symphony and like it a resolution of the torment expressed in the Fifth. Its many lightly inflected moods flow peacefully together with classical clarity, interrupted in the middle by a short, funny honky-tonk of a Scherzo. The Melos Ensemble of London plays it with quiet understanding; it presents as well a sparkling, icy Prokofiev Quintet dated Paris...
Last week Lyndon Johnson took both aspects into account with a balance-of-payments message aimed at lessening the payments problem without sharply restricting capital movements. The message was milder than many had expected. Another example of Johnson compromise, it combined some moderate restraints on the flow of dollars abroad with an appeal to the patriotism of U.S. industry.

At one moment, a street scene goes entirely grey-including a vendor, his cart, fruit and all. When Vitti awakes in panic at night to find a toy robot clacking around her glacially modern home as though it had a will of its own, the very walls become...
...Baltimore Sun, Oct. 14, 1963.) Similarly, the Christian Science Monitor reported on Jan. 7, 1963, that "arms supplied to the Vietcong from outside the country have been negligible." The New York Times made a similar statement on Feb. 16, 1964: 'The bombing of North Vietnam could not halt the flow of supplies to the Viet Cong, particularly since most of their weapons are captured from the South Vietnamese Army...
