Nixon promised a resolution of the matter by last week, saying that the decision would be Finch's. On Tuesday, the White House agreed to go ahead with the nomination. Knowles later told a friend: "It was all signed, sealed and delivered." Then, unexpectedly, the opposition gained fresh strength and pressed with renewed vigor for the White House to withdraw Knowles. House Republican Leader Gerald Ford, who had been quietly opposing the appointment, and Texas Republican Senator John Tower reminded Nixon of the A.M.A. campaign contributions. Other Republicans echoed Ford's opinion that "there must be somebody less...
...most memorable scene is still to come, when Henry is handed the list of "the names of those their nobles that lie dead." As he recites the long roster, name by name, a score of men gradually come on stage each wearing a ghostly white mask splotched with fresh blood. Finally the King intones the incipit of a Te Deum, and the ghostly choir picks it up in unison and, in the manner of the Living Theatre, moves down-stage to face the audience in a long row, humming and swaying from left to right--an inspired fusion...
...have to take issue with some of your comments, especially those about the "intellectual hierarchy that is basic to learning" [June 6].

As Decorator-in-Chief Lord Snowdon, Charles' uncle, airily put it: "I have designed the whole thing entirely for television." That brought an angry retort from Sir Anthony Wagner, Garter King of Arms and chief authority for the ceremony's heraldic details: "I don't regard myself as part of show business...
Petrosian, an affable, absentminded man, was the sentimental favorite. His fellow Armenians kept their champion supplied with fresh cherries from home to bolster his diet and cheered him so boisterously at one point that authorities had to draw the curtains on the stage to allow the competitors to concentrate. Petrosian, who likes to stroll about or read the newspaper between moves in less important matches, slipped off to watch a hockey game between championship rounds, a practice unheard of for competing chess champions, who supposedly must keep their minds riveted to the board...
