...West Germany is not much of a politician. Economics Hero Ludwig Erhard rose to influence via cloistered university halls and ministerial planning rooms, innocent of the rough-and-tumble of politics that might have given him a ferocity in struggle, skill of maneuver in smoke-filled rooms, and a group of loyal local bosses all about him. Because he has no experience in such essentials of working democratic politics, it was an unequal contest last week when Erhard rose to do battle with that crusty veteran of the political wars, Konrad Adenauer...
...opponents stood their ground-which is chiefly the round green hills of tobacco-growing Pinar del Río province. The 20,000 farmers united there in the Group of Owners of Rustic Estates held four big rallies that showed the most outspoken opponents of land reform to be gnarled-handed small holders.

The most imaginative Porgy is supplied by Trumpeter Miles Davis on a Columbia LP arranged by Gil Evans; in this case the Gershwin themes serve only as a departure point, usually for attenuated Davis solo nights...
...Eighteen percent of all those answering the questionnaire said they believed in an "infinitely wise, omnipotent, three-person God who created the universe and who maintains an active concern for human affairs."
