Jungle Tyranny. The vagaries of U.S. policy, to whose tune the banana dictators dance, helped tyrants hang on. Last winter, when Spruille Braden's blasts against tyranny were loudest, Dictators Anastasio Somoza of Nicaragua and Tiburcio Carías Andino of Honduras behaved almost like gentlemen. Jail doors swung open, the press spoke up, elections were promised. Now rumor whispered that Bradenism was on the way out (vigorously denied in Washington last week) and the Strong Boys were strutting again...

Most class-reunion outfits were boisterous refinements of the Princeton seniors' "beer suits" (painters' white overalls and white jackets).

Nobody dropped water bombs from a hotel window. Nobody set fire to the furniture. There were no fist fights in the lobby, no naked women running through the corridors, no drunks hell-raising in the streets.

When Quartet No. 3 was over, the loudest applause came from the sixth row, where lively, gnomelike Schönberg, natty in a polka-dot bow tie, sat with his wife.

...Czechs, whose love for American jazz is echoed from every kavarna (coffee house) in Prague, applauded compositions by Aaron Copland, William Schuman and Samuel Barber, but gave the loudest ovation to George Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue, with President Truman's protégé-pianist, Eugene List, as soloist (TIME, April 22). Bernstein led the orchestra through a rousing performance of his own apocalyptic Jeremiah Symphony. After concerts, Bernstein played the piano for Czech Philharmonic's conductor Rafael Kubelik and his violinist wife, updating them on the latest versions of Honky-Tonk Train and Empty...
