...Conductor Khrushchev brought up his muted strings. While the theme never changed, the U.S. relaxed, sat back to listen and watch-even to drum a little counterpoint. Result: a grand show, spiced with pathos, comedy, touches of heavy drama, acrobatics-everything, in short, except Eliza and a cake of ice...

Cold as sculptured ice, Ingrid Bergman faced Roberto Rossellini in a Roman court, there to do battle against his latest attempt to gain permanent custody of their three children, who are now in the 13th week of a two-month visit with their father. Distantly, she called him "Signor Rossellini." He baked her in a Latin gaze. "Ingrid," he said, "call me Roberto." With that, her reserve melted into tears.
