...segment of its two-month U.S. tour last week. The New York Times found Barshai's strings "a core of cast iron overlaid with silver." Later, a three-night stand at Carnegie Hall was sold out-largely because Russia's great father and son violinists, David and Igor Oistrakh, appeared on the program. But Barshai's group did not suffer in comparison...
...office and counter-intelligence agents all rolled into one. McClellan himself never served in the frozen Yukon; he spent his years tracking down moonshiners in Alberta, battling the violent hunger marches of the Depression '30s and ferreting out Communist spies in the '40s. When Russian Cipher Clerk Igor Gouzenko walked out of the Soviet embassy in 1945 ready to tell about the Red spy ring, McClellan was the man who took him into protective custody. The Mounties cracked the ring wide open; Gouzenko and his family still live "somewhere in Canada," still under Mountie protection...
Russian-born Hearst Society Gossipist Igor Cassini (Cholly Knickerbocker to his readers), charged with "willfully" failing to register as an agent for Rafael Trujillo's Dominican Republic, cut a rueful figure in court as he pleaded nolo contendere and awaited the judge's sentencing.

Other papers sent reporters with fresh eyes. The Wall Street Journal dispatched Igor Oganesoff and Norm Sklarewitz; John Cowles's Minneapolis Tribune sent Robert Hewett. Conniff and the rest of the Hearst task force set out for the Far East. So did Columnist Joe Alsop, a talented reporter and longtime Asian expert. Alsop characterized the Saigon correspondents as "young crusaders." He wasted no time reminding his readers that "it is easy enough to paint a dark, indignant picture without departing from the facts, if you ignore the majority of Americans who admire the Vietnamese as fighters and seek...
...musical life. Pablo Casals conducting his own oratorio El Pesebre has been followed by Folk Songsters Peter, Paul and Mary conducting 13,934 folkniks into collective rapture. One night jazz holds court, with Duke Ellington and Ella Fitzgerald; another night the classical reigns, as that 20th century master Igor Stravinsky conducts his own Petrouchka suite, the Two Little Suites and Scherzo a La Russe. To add the final touch of diversity, the New York City Ballet will appear Aug. 6-11, performing two of George Balanchine's latest ballets. The greatest U.S. prima ballerina, Maria Tallchief, has just rejoined...
