...limited. Using mostly her own company and appearing herself in the leading role, Choreographer Graham presented the last struggles of Mary Queen of Scots to Webern's expansive Passacaglia, Opus i, Six Pieces, Opus 6. The work detailed Mary's discard of the symbols of statecraft, her hopeless duel with Elizabeth, her course to death on the scaffold. Brilliantly costumed, the work had some stunning theatrical effects: the sudden revelation of Elizabeth in shimmering gold gown as her high-backed throne turns slowly to the audience, the ritualistic tennis game played with gold rackets and balls by Elizabeth...
...Hospital in Bedford, Mass., Rose found from a survey that many relatives do not expect the hospital to effect a cure and really do not want it to-they regard it as a place of detention, not healing. They are more comfortable feeling that the case is hopeless: if the patient never improves, he can never be sent home where "there is no room" and the family's ranks have closed against...

Alone in the mountain-locked fastness of their native land, Tibetans-like the Hungarians before them in 1956-could expect to stir the sympathy of the free world, but they could hardly count on any real help from it. Red repression in Lhasa coulu be even more brutal than in Budapest-for who would know what had been done...
