Nixon's appearance at the AFL-CIO meeting and the new flexibility in wages were only the two freshest roses tossed by the White House lately in labor's path. Meany was respectfully consulted on both Dunlop's appointment and that of Peter Brennan, a New York City hardhat leader who became the first union man to head the Labor Department in almost 20 years. The President also took the extraordinary step of inviting Meany to submit his personal nominees for several top-ranking jobs in the Housing and Urban Development, Commerce and Defense departments. Finally, Nixon...
Such diligence paid off. Alsop's description of the economic base of a provincial commune or production methods at a small rural factory provide some of the freshest Western reporting yet from China. He even found evidence of humor in the seemingly stolid Communist leadership. At the start of a three-hour interview, Chou En-lai asked him, "Would you like to know what I really think, or would you like another of those boring public interviews...
...EMIGRANTS is one of the great films that not only succeeds on its own terms, but could persuade new filmmakers to work according to its standards.

From Having a Wild Weekend to Point Blank to Hell in the Pacific to Leo the Last he has made poignant romance from rock group fantasy, existential comedy gangster shoot-em-up, psychological examination from World War II melodrama, revolutionary parable from absurdist fantasy. His record is not consistently successful...
...Baroque repertory (the Bach orchestral Suites, the Handel Concerti Grossi, Op. 6), Neville Marriner is one of the best and busiest maestros on the London recording scene. His Mozart, an artful shading of sinew, sensuousness and sonority, is as good as anything he does. Indeed, Nachtmusik is the freshest, rosiest reading of that serenade to come along in years...
