...week's end, the Philharmonic flew off to Leningrad for six concerts, will go to Kiev for four, return to Moscow for three more. Then come Germany, France, Yugoslavia, Italy, Scandinavia, and finally on Oct. 10, London. If the reception is anything like those to date, New York will have trouble keeping the Philharmonic and its maestro at home from...
...climate of Rhodes gave hope for even better relations. The two Russian observers-round-faced, balding Viktor S. Alexeev, 33, a layman on the staff of the Moscow patriarchate's foreign affairs department, and dark, beaky Archpriest Vitaly M.
