...Salzburg's famed Mozarteum (conservatory) when in 1922 he joined Richard Strauss, Director Max Reinhardt and Librettist Hugo von Hofmannsthal in organizing the Salzburg Festival. Before he began his eleven years as the festival's president in 1960, Paumgartner proved eminently resourceful. Once, while recording Don Giovanni, he went so far as to slap a soprano in order to evoke a properly furious scream from...
Scholars and Thieves. In fact, the trips to Venice did not radically change his style. But they gave him confidence (especially when Giovanni Bellini, the Venetian artist he most admired, became his friend), immeasurably deepened his learnings and supplied him, on the way, with some of his most typical images. His biggest etching, Landscape with the Cannon, sets a turbaned Turk (which Dürer copied from a painting by Giovanni's older brother Gentile Bellini) in the midst of a landscape he sketched on the way to Bamberg. Around 1501 he engraved Nemesis?the goddess of fortune, bulbous...

Loosely associated with the M.S.I, are squads of youthful right-wing neoFascists, many of whom do wear...
However conservative he may be in matters of traditional doctrine and discipline, Pope Paul VI has always had a warm predilection for social activism. As Archbishop Giovanni Battista Montini of Milan, he initiated a range of programs for the workers and poor of that problem-plagued archdiocese. In his travels as Pope, he has repeatedly made a point of seeking out the sick and impoverished. His remarkable 1967 social encyclical, Populorum Progressio (On the Development of Peoples), called on nations to engage in a worldwide program of aggressive social action. Now comes an apostolic letter* in which the Pope addresses...
