...lisande (Janine Micheau, Camille Maurane; chorus and Lamoureux Orchestra conducted by Jean Fournet; Epic, 3 LPs). Maurice Maeterlinck's dewy drama of innocent love and death made luminous by Debussy's timeless score. The performance is excellent, and the recording has a presence that lends impact to the vaporous score. Prokofiev: Semyon Kotko Suite (Radio Berlin Symphony conducted by Rolf Kleinert; Urania).

But a lot of unexpected secondary effects appeared-the expense-account society, for instance. Among some Washington tax theorists, there is talk of a basic survey...
...this strange twilight of acceptance and uncertainty, the emotional impact of Churchill's leaving was yet to be felt. Until the word was official and irrevocable, the nation held back its full measure of tribute for the man who was by common consent the greatest Englishman of the 20th century. But there was no one unmindful of the unrolling calendar of events...
