...Marine Lieut. Billy Mills, 27: the six-mile run in 27 min. 11.6 sec., clipping 6.2 sec. from the record set in 1963 by Australia's Ron Clarke; at the national A.A.U. track and field championships in San Diego, where the team to meet the U.S.S.R. at Kiev this month was chosen. Proving that his astonishing 10,000-meter victory in the Olympics was no fluke, Mills held off a strong challenge from Washington State's Gerry Lindgren, 19, who matched him stride for stride through a bristling 58 sec. final quarter-mile before Mills breasted the tape...
...Moscow and Kiev, after an evening of Brahms and Mozart, several of the musicians adjourned to the youth cafés to sit in on jam sessions with the local hipsters. In Tbilisi, the orchestra was treated to a sumptuous banquet and serenaded by Georgian folk singers. The only sour note of the tour was sounded privately by the musicians, who rightfully questioned Szell's generally lightweight selection of American works, including two insipidities by Composers William Grant Still and Herbert Elwell, a native of Cleveland...
...Communism upon the land he loves bites much deeper. "There has never been anything like it in the world, and I want to forget it, force it never to have been, for fear of cursing my country, the mother who gave me birth on an autumn day in Kiev."

Born in the Ukraine's Volyn in 1897, Liberman attended a gymnasium and took a law degree at Kiev University, went on to study engineering in Kharkov. For some 15 years he worked in various factories near by, including six years as planning chief in a large farm machinery plant. After a wartime stint in a Moscow government job, Liberman went back to the Engineering Institute in Kharkov as a teacher and part-time factory consultant, earning his doctorate in economics in 1956 and the title of professor...
Georgi Griner plays Ghenry Ghiggins with a Kiev accent, and The Rain in Spain came out Carl Stole Clara's Corals. Even if something were lost in translation, Maya Prekrasnaya Ledy brought 2,700 first-nighters to their feet in Moscow's Operetta Theater. "A great success," trumpeted Tass. But not everybody could have danced all night. "The Soviets did not go through proper channels," groused CBS, which bought the foreign rights to My Fair Lady from Authors Alan Lerner, 46, and Frederick Loewe, 60, in 1960. The Russians, of course, paid no one a ruble. But Producer...
