...played last week in Tokyo.* Nervous, white-haired Michio Ito, who had spent 20 years in the U.S. directing dance productions, had rehearsed the cast for two months. The 49-man Tokyo Philharmonic had been drilled on the tricky rhythms of Sullivan's music. Kiyoshi Takagi, as Ko-Ko, had learned how to sing "teet wiro. teet wiro."

...incident in the taking of Košice, along the spine of the Carpathians in eastern Slovakia. Before Prešov, General Ivan Petrov had opened up in the orthodox manner, bracketing the slopes with shells as if in preparation for attack.
