...When the Boston Symphony's Eugene Lehner wants a viola, he goes straight to Montclair (where Mrs. Hutchins sells them for $600 apiece); the Budapest String Quartet's Mischa Schneider has used one of her cellos. Says one satisfied Hutchins customer, David Mankovitz, who played with the Kroll Quartet: "Her viola creates a sensation wherever I play it. People want to know how to get that tone quality. At the Spoleto Festival, they wouldn't believe it." Mrs. Hutchins' new instruments, some of which have already been played, are even more unbelievable: they run a wide...
...firm advocates of a strong Atlantic alliance and argue that they are merely trying to strengthen it. Others are more concerned with German unity. They would reject nuclear armament and would make other concessions to Russia for the sake of reunification. Off on another tangent is brash Hans Kroll, West Germany's ambassador in Moscow, whose loud advocacy of rapprochement with Russia last fall earned him a personal dressing down from Adenauer himself. Last week Kroll was again ordered home by the angry Chancellor, following press reports that in private talks he had been urging an astonishing array...
...over Europe last week, Russians were pushing this line.

The winners: Tufts' David Thompson, Rutgers' Alex Kroll, Vanderbilt's Wade Butcher, Western Reserve's Albert Iosue, Colorado's Joe Romig, Rice's Robert Johnston, Oregon State's Mike Kline, Utah State's Merlin Olsen...
Ulrik Brendel, an old mentor of Rosmer's whose life has corroded through his own illusory ambitions, was given a Chaplinesque twist by Joel Henning. As Professor Kroll, the pompous but observant conservative, Richard B. Stone heroically varies his redundant lines. Had he used his torso as flexibly, the visual effect would have been similarly less monotonous. Joel Crothers as the opportunistic radical leader whose dreams never exceed his political capabilities, and Beryl Kinross-Wright as a housekeeper, turn in two excellent performances...
