To try to ease the old hatreds, Protestant O'Neill broke all precedent last year by inviting the Republic of Ireland's Catholic Premier Sean Lemass to Belfast. It was then that Paisley, fearing a sellout to the Catholics, began stumping Ulster's six counties, attacking everyone from the Pope ("old red socks") to the Archbishop of Canterbury ("another traitor").

...disaster. When it was concluded at the opening performance, one outraged man in the audience let out with a resounding boo; and only critical decorum prevented its being joined by at least one more.

Paris, in talking of this to the East, necessarily addresses itself to Moscow. The re-establishment...
MAHLER: SYMPHONY NO. 4 (Columbia). This glorious work contains Mahler's song "Das himmlische Leben," and George Szell and the Cleveland Orchestra recreate the Teutonic paradise. Judith Raskin, who sings the three soprano solos, sounds warm and free, yet her precise technique never allows a hint of bombast. "St. Cecilia with all her relatives are the excellent court musicians," goes the final refrain of the song, and the Cleveland and Miss Raskin could not be better described...
