...opinion of U.S. strategists, the Soviet Mediterranean force, lacking big aircraft carriers, would be no match for the Sixth Fleet, with its 50 combat ships, including two carriers and two cruisers, 200 aircraft and 25,000 men. The Russian squadron in the Mediterranean is, in fact, smaller than the Italian navy. But as U.S. Admiral Horacio Rivero, commander of NATO forces in Southern Europe, notes: "While the Soviet flotilla is a potential military threat, its greatest importance is political and psychological. The number of ships is not too important. The presence of one ship has a political impact...

The leaders of French and Italian delegations both rose to announce that their parties intended to travel "our road toward socialism," as Italian Giancarlo Pajetta put it. Rumanian Delegate Chivu Stoica also declined to line up behind Gomulka's thesis.

...programming of two of the Opus 6 concerto grossi was a welcome step into the edifice of Handel's creations. The set of twelve concertos comprise the finest English instrumental music written until this century. There can be no doubt that Handel, although born in Saxony and raised on Italian opera, is a thoroughly English composer. He arrived in London during the interregnum left by the death of Purcell in 1695 and the first works of Thomas Arne twenty years later.

...taking a long look at low life in Fun City. Using discotheques, squad rooms and pool halls, he creates a tense atmosphere of violence that encloses the action like a straitjacket. Eastwood, who has hitherto displayed nothing more than a capacity for iron-jawed belligerency in a series of Italian-made westerns, performs with a measure of real feeling in the first role that fits him as comfortably as his tooled leather boots...
