Most surprising of all is Libya's care fu.lly independent course in Arab politics. Nasser's picture smiles from thousands of shopwindows, Libyans listen nightly to Cairo radio, and-as in much of the Middle East-many of Libya's schoolteachers are Egyptian. But Libya refused to take sides with Nasser against Iraq. To all demands for its fealty, Moslem and non-Moslem alike, Libya replies in the proud words of Al Raid: "We do not need imported principles...
...Libyans are nevertheless trying to wangle more of it. The U.S. has a lease until 1971 on Wheelus Air Force Base, where under ideal weather conditions shrieking F-IOI and F-102 jet fighters land and take off in flocks of 500 a day. But the U.S. has to listen if the King's ministers want to renegotiate. For the use of Wheelus, the U.S. paid an initial sum of $7,000,000 and 24,000 tons of wheat, agreed to an annual $4,000,000 rental until 1960 and $1,000,000 a year after that for eleven...

"Even if they don't recover," said one veteran, "they are perfectly happy, because they have died on a hadj.'' The death rate for this year's pilgrimage...
Both Smithers and Landau should be made to listen to the Queen Mab vocal scherzetto and orchestral scherzo from Berlioz' "dramatic symphony" Romeo and Juliet before Smithers sets foot on the Festival stage again. In fact, no director should essay this play until he has studied all of the Berlioz masterpiece, the only work based on Shakespeare's play that surpasses the original. Significantly, in his Sunday appraisal of this production, the New York Times' Brooks Atkinson was also moved to invoke the Berlioz work. Although he made some inaccurate statements about both Berlioz and his symphony, his basic point...
