...which lurk new magical wonders to behold. Fog billows, backdrops quaver with psychedelic patterns, a sword springs from nowhere, an orange fountain gushes from center stage, a tenor flies into the flies. The singing, which requires a display of vocal acrobatics that few performers can successfully negotiate, was excellent. Loudest bravas went to Christa Ludwig, whose lusty soprano and hip-swinging histrionics had bite and conviction...
Tunisia's Habib Bourguiba has long been the Arab world's loudest cham pion of women's rights. In 1956, when Tunisia won its independence, Bourguiba abolished polygamy, made it harder for men to get divorces, and gave women their first, real legal rights. He looked on approvingly as the Moslem veil began to vanish, and he has shown no objection to the new garb of girls who parade gracefully through the narrow streets of Tunis in brief, airy frocks. But one has to draw the line somewhere, and last week Bourguiba did-just below the knee...
...dream up a scene of glory like that in San Francisco's Candlestick Park last week. As one, 30,000 fans leaped to their feet and screamed wildly as the ball disappeared into the right-field bleachers and the batter loped casually around the bases.

To the despair of their supporters, the others had fallen to noisy defeat. The loudest wails came from Brazil, whose team had won the cup in 1958 and 1962. A loss to Portugal became a nationwide calamity. From office buildings in Rio and São Paulo, clouds of black carbon paper and typewriter ribbon cascaded onto the streets below; flags were lowered to half-mast, and people...
Though the meeting was CORE's, the keynote speaker (maneuvered into place by CORE members who are even more militant than McKissick) was Stokely Carmichael, 25, the head of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee ("SNICK") and the loudest articulator of the black-power philosophy. Dropping his jacket and loosening his tie to "be like my people," Carmichael launched an attack on just about everyone. "This is not a movement being run by Lyndon Johnson!" he cried. "This is not a movement being run by the liberal white establishment or by Uncle Toms. What you have been doing...
