Rocky's, meteoric descent stems only in part from his remarriage last May. Many Republican leaders think he made an even more serious political mistake with his furious denunciation of the "radical right" in July. Among other things, this gave Barry a golden opportunity to go around preaching party unity. In his dark days, Rocky is having trouble finding a campaign manager with national status. He got a flat no from bulky Len Hall, Dwight Eisenhower's 1952 campaign-train manager, now is trying to enlist ex-G.O.P. National Chairman Meade Alcorn, a Dartmouth classmate...
...skilled mob orator, Sukarno is whipping up furious chauvinistic feeling. Before a screaming crowd of 30,000 in the central Javanese city of Djokjakarta last week, he ranted that Malaysia (pop. 10 million) had been created "to corner Indonesia" (pop. 100 million). The fact that Malaysia has no army to speak of, compared with his own jet-and-missile-equipped 400,000-man force, was an incongruity that did not deter Sukarno. "The flowering of the Indonesian people will not retreat in the face of colonialism," he said. "We must fight and destroy Malaysia." Last week Foreign Secretary Lord Home...

Inflaming Ease. In ten years in San Francisco, Adler's furious pursuit of perfection has brought remarkable results. The company has given the first U.S. performances of such works as Britten's Midsummer Night's Dream and Cherubini's Medea, revivals of Nabucco and Ariadne auf Naxos, American opera debuts to such singers as Birgit Nilsson, Leontyne Price, Boris Christoff, Sandor Konya and Sutherland. Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, who has yet to sing at New York's Metropolitan, has been appearing in San Francisco since 1955. On good nights, the opera's chorus and ballet...
...minor poet or scientist is dismissed as irrelevant in presenting the age in "total perspective." Yet perspective is exactly what Durant lacks. Thus he can declare that "the greatest Italian painters were now in Naples, everything flourished-music, art, literature, politics, drama, hunger, murder, and always the gay, furious, melodious pursuit of feminine curves by agitated men." But he never seems aware that the "great" Neapolitan painters were at best secondary talents, and that the true center of painting had shifted elsewhere-to The Nether lands and France...
