Both Würzburg and, this year, Hannover have moved in on Mozart programs, which used to be virtually cornered by Salzburg, while Italy's Bari, hitherto barely in the festival swim, is patting itself on the back for having landed a prize catch this year: Pianist Artur Rubinstein. Doing the festival rounds even faster than the fleetest-footed music tourist will be a gaggle of other big-name artists. The speed and distance record probably goes to famed German Soprano Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, who will dash between Scandinavia (Helsinki, Bergen), Switzerland (Lucerne), Belgium (Ostend), France (Aix and Besanqon...
...protein, the fundamental substance of living organisms. On the surface, such work often seems remote from practicality, but it has helped chemists find the necessary techniques to create hundreds of new drugs, plastics, synthetic fibers. By unveiling the structure of the hemoglobin molecule, Pauling also revealed the nature of hitherto unrecognized ills, e.g., sickle-cell anemia, and may have laid the foundation for a whole new medical strategy against disease...
With his sensitive performance in Marty, and now in Violent Saturday, Ernest Borgnine, 37, is giving moviegoers a satisfying look at a new facet of a talent hitherto largely devoted to villainous sneers. For an actor who looks like a beer-truck driver (he became an actor only because the refrigeration school he wanted to attend was too far from his New Haven home), the revelation may be just startling enough to launch a new career...

The pact strengthens the Middle East's "northern tier" (the defense line from Turkey to Pakistan). Pakistan, hitherto isolated on the northern tier's right wing, exulted. "It's good to be a bridge instead of feeling like a chasm," said a Pakistan official. The Pakistani were talking of including Iran too, which like Turkey and Pakistan is Moslem but not Arab...
