...states are born into a large and particularly complicated world. One of its complications is, of course, the cold war rivalry, which so far has worked to the new nations' advantage by providing two competitive founts of aid. "The bipolar power structure provides," says Harvard's Joseph Nye, "a safety net underneath these nations as they play on their tightrope." If ever the U.S. and the Soviet Union get together and agree on spheres of influence, however, the new nations may find themselves with no net to fall into; in the interim, they had better acquire some bounce...

In the U.S. and Europe, there are at least 30 first-rate flutists-London's Geoffrey Gilbert and William Bennett, Manhattan's John Wummer and Samuel Baron, Rochester's Joseph Mariano, Boston's Doriot Anthony Dwyer, Detroit's Albert Tipton, Marlboro's Louis Moyse-and among them there are four who may well belong among the great flute players of all time...

...Oscar. Even at its awful best, this mindless Joseph E. Levine epic will hardly win anything but booby prizes. One can easily imagine the scene next year at the famous ceremonies in Santa Monica: the pit orchestra bravely muddling through Percy Faith's flail-it-with-music themes from The Oscar while an Academy spokesman announces that all categories have been hastily revised to permit a few special awards. The probable Oscar winners...
