...give up its Cuban bases, the U.S. ought to give up some of its own bases. A first sign of the line came at a Bonn reception last week when Soviet Ambassador Andrei Smirnov planted his tall, bearlike figure solidly before one of West Germany's top diplomats, Franz Krapf, head of the Foreign Office's Eastern section...
...first suspected that Kennedy's noise about Cuba had more to do with the election than with the progress of the cold war with Russia, and he rather liked the idea; it was the kind of thing that the old man might have done himself. Defense Minister Franz Josef Strauss took a different view, worriedly foresaw a cynical deal trading off bases between the U.S. and Russia, which would weaken his own long-range goal to obtain nuclear missiles for West Germany. With Strauss, Adenauer peered at the photographs of the Russian installations in Cuba. Actually, said some knowledgeable...
...greatest German artists of his day, but neither in his lifetime nor in the 75 years since his death has the German public got to know him well. Other artists have long admired him; but the very fame of these admirers-men like Emil Nolde, Franz Marc and Max Beckmann-tended to dim his own.

Stolz is the grand old man of operetta, the sole survivor of the golden age of popular Viennese music (1910-25). At Austria's open-air amphitheater on Lake Constance last week, Old Composer Stolz was still at work. Tall...
...agile proof that he is descended from a long line of conductors of the Viennese school, a special breed that has all but disappeared from the world's concert halls, a line that once rang with such great names as Gustav Mahler, Felix Weingartner (Krips's teacher), Franz Schalk and Bruno Walter. What those artists had in common, says the Buffalo Symphony's Krips, was a sense of continuity, a conviction that music should be "one long legato line." Krips's own legato line as he conducts Beethoven and Brahms is as admired...
