...conference room of the White House, President Eisenhower faced 80 business-and trade-magazine editors who had taken time off from their Washington convention to visit him-and for the next 20 minutes, held them intent. Speaking without notes, the President spoke on a subject to which he has dedicated himself: the absolute U.S. necessity for an "expanding, healthy and vigorous economy" based on a "sound dollar." In so doing, he drew on the lessons of his boyhood and early Army career, and as rarely before, he demonstrated the highly personal basis for many of his presidential policies...
...note, the teen-age Bolivian violinist walked onto the stage of the Palais des Beaux Arts in Brussels to play before the world's toughest violin jury* in the finals of the famed Queen Elisabeth of Belgium International Music Competition. With his boyishly chubby face creased in an intent frown, he fiddled his way through the Sibelius Concerto in D Minor, Bartok's Rumanian Dances, and Darius Milhaud's Royal Concerto.

What the announcer was reporting from his eyewitness perch to intent listeners all over Alaska was not an impending natural disaster, but the Alaskan equivalent of the Irish Sweepstakes: the yearly pool on when the ice would break up in the Tanana River at the little town of Nenana, southwest of Fairbanks.

As a group we were often disorganized and politically naive, especially the evening at Moscow University described in the article...
...recitatives, and the employment of an English translation that wavers between brassy colloquialism and comically stiff couplets. Along with the idiocies of the plot itself, they provided an enjoyable parody of the heroic style. It was difficult to tell at first whether the action was farcial by intent or accident ("Where did I get the nerve?" muses the soprano after telling off Xerxes), but as the melodramatic cliches become less widely spaced the audience turned partisan, hissing the villain with all its might. As is proper in a drama of love, war, and deception, there is a chorus strutting about...
