...quite a week for Charlie Mohr, TIME'S White House correspondent. He had to rush away from a reception at the home of the Vice President of the U.S. one evening so that he would not be late for dinner with the President.

I choose to look on the bright side because the American premiere of Ugo Betti's masterpiece is not an event to be missed.
