...Sake? But Callas' singing, remarkable as it is, accounts for only part of her impact. To the unregenerate art of operatic acting, she brings a powerful personality. It shows in the expressive toss of her head as she trills some word less coloratura, in the dramatic contrast of her long white fingers spread against a jet-black robe, in the sudden change in her face as, in mid-song, a new thought crosses her mind. She listens with a special intentness while others sing to her-although it is a question whether the pain that sometimes touches her brow...

No one remembered exactly where it hit, but one of the divers had happened to take a picture of an oil slick off South Laguna. By triangulation the point of impact was found, and after 381 dives, most of the airplane was fished up and collected in 44 barrels.

...book makes its points with slashing impact in scenes as sharply etched as the sun-baked houses under the savage Spanish sun. English Author Lewis is as carefully dispassionate as Spain's José Maria Gironella in The Cypresses Believe in God, which massively documented the forces that carried Spain toward civil war (TIME, April 18). Lewis shows that in their hearts both sides have become tired of the stubbornly continuing conflict. The revolutionary has begun to suspect the motives of the revolution, the chief of police is sick of police power. In the end, Author Lewis seems...
