...JANÁČEK: STRING QUARTETS NOS. 1 AND 2 (Crossroads). Chamber music, particularly that of the 20th century, is often an acquired taste.

His first quartet was inspired by Tolstoy's chilling story The Kreutzer Sonata and is played with special eloquence and style by the Janáĉek String Quartet...

It also sets up, within the Commerce Department, a new National Traffic Safety Agency...

With headquarters in Washington, Mann will work closely with Haddon, serve as the industry's spokesman while the new safety rules are being formulated. The State Department's longtime top expert on Latin America (TIME cover, Jan. 31, 1964), Mann retired last June, has since spent most of his time writing a book about the U.S.'s Latin American policy. He has never before had any association with the auto industry. But the industry has high hopes for him as a skilled diplomat, a man who knows...
