...music's finest old traditions is that young conductors must make their debuts only when calamity strikes the maestro and leaves the podium bare. Last week at the Holland Festival in Amsterdam, Viennese Actress Paula Wessely had a nervous breakdown and Russian Cellist David Rostropovich had a heart attack, setting the emotional stage for the illness of Conductor Paul Sacher, scheduled to lead the Dutch Chamber Orchestra. Aging Conductor Pierre Monteux, 88, promptly appeared on the scene with his protégé in his pocket. "My pupil," said Monteux, "he's great. He reminds...
Painful Brilliance. Manufactured by the Old Delft optical company in Holland, Dr. Bouwers' night eye was originally designed to brighten the dim pictures on doctors' fluoroscopes, to give a good look at a patient's internal organs without the need for powerful and dangerous doses of X rays. But soon after the first tests, the military showed an understandable and urgent interest. For the night eye needs no artificial light source, like the snooperscopes of World War II, which merely detected the reflections of infrared light shot out by the scopes themselves. The Dutch device is built...
...every direction. Along its banks are such big oil refiners as Shell, Caltex, Esso, Mobil and British Petroleum, which have made Rotterdam one of the world's main oil-refining centers.

With tickets sold at $125 to $750 apiece-and "gamblers" paid off in donated minks, diamonds, motor scooters and other goodies-the take was upwards of $123,000. But all-at-sea was the place to be for such socialites as Governor and Mrs. Rockefeller and the Duke and Duchess of Windsor (see THE NATION). An eye-catcher even in that company was svelte Shipmate Gloria Lee Barrie, 35, whose husband George, 49, president...
...male Roman Catholic who has reached the age of reason can be elected Pope. In practice, the possibilities have always been easily narrowed down to a chosen few: not since Urban VI (1378-89) has there been a Pope who was not a cardinal; not since Adrian VI of Holland (1522-23) has the church had a non-Italian Pontiff. But this time there are more papabili than Roman handicappers can readily rate. Next week's conclave, with 79 cardinals,-will be the largest since election of the Pope became the exclusive prerogative of the cardinals in the 12th...
