...book is seductively titled Who's Who in the CIA, but, alas, that turns out to be largely a cover-and little else. The work of East Germany's Dr. Julius Mader, 40, the author of several other, widely unnoticed exposes of Western intelligence operations, Who's Who is a pocket-size, 600-page directory that lists more than 3,000 Americans who supposedly work for the CIA. "My book," says Mader, "blows the lid off the American secret service...
...implore the Pope not to release it. While satisfactory to conservatives of the Roman Curia, Konig argued, the pronouncement was "most unwise pastorally and apostolically," and it would "do the church much damage." Such other European liberals as Belgium's Leo Josef Cardinal Suenens and Munich's Julius Cardinal Dopfner reportedly telephoned Pope Paul with similar objections...
...quartet of music critics, bearing bouquets of flowery superlatives, utters the rousing paean, These Tired Ears Lo at Long Last Rejoice.

They worship her Cleopatra in Handel's Julius Caesar, a role whose vocal acrobatics are so demanding that the opera is rarely performed...

...Julius Caesar usually met with in histories and in Shakespeare's theater is up to his laurels in politics; but somehow one rarely thinks of him as a politician. His grubby preoccupation with the buying and selling of votes, the maneuvers of rival factions-these tend to be obscured by poetry and rhetoric. Theodore White has chosen to treat Caesar mostly as a practitioner-and ultimately a victim-of politics. White has always been fascinated "by the way men use other men to reach their goals." In magazine pieces and in two books about The Making of the President...
