That could account for the fact that the heads of the army, navy and air force have also dropped out of sight -and did not even reappear last week to greet their visiting Pakistani counterparts, an occasion when protocol absolutely demanded the presence of Peking's military chiefs. Still, the only certain judgment was that, whatever the nature of the struggle, Premier Chou En-lai was not likely to come up a loser. The abundance of Chou protégés on the delegation due in Manhattan this week seems proof that the agile Chou has not lost...
Time and again, Mao Tse-tung has dropped out of sight for extended periods, only to make a dramatic reappearance-swimming in the Yangtze River, standing atop the Gate of Heavenly Peace in Peking, greeting a visiting dignitary. Last week, after yet another tantalizing absence, Mao was back again, this time to welcome Ethiopia's Emperor Haile Selassie to Peking.

Waiting to greet the Emperor during his 100-minute stopover is no less a figure than the President...

According to individual taste, one can greet it with a hosannah, a miserere nobis or a sancta simplicitas. Bernstein, after all, is an artist and entertainer, not a theologian. But even his stagecraft, his taste and his music, despite many delights and flourishes, reflect a basic confusion...
