...heavy fog of censorship, fortnight ago leaked news of trouble in the Dominican Republic. The brisk little tyrant, Dictator-President Rafael Leonidas Trujillo Molina, had planned a year and a half vacation in the U. S. and Europe, his first trip off his island, presumably in company with his lush mistress, Donna Maria. Trujillo planned to stop in Washington to renew the 17-month moratorium on the $16,000,000 debt the Republic owes U. S. bondholders. Meanwhile his Minister to the U. S., Rafael Brache, was doing the preliminary spadework with the U. S. State Department. Inasmuch as Trujillo...
...Lorand orchestramen know what it is to rehearse twelve hours a day, seven days a week. They are not allowed to answer back, not allowed to overeat, discouraged from marrying. But in spite of their rigorous discipline, their playing has the lush abandon which distinguishes almost all Hungarian orchestras, takes on particular magic late at night when good wine keeps them company.

Gaping gallery-goers liked best three lush canvases by the father of French postcards, sensuous Francois Boucher (1703-70). Serious painters were most excited by the opportunity to see six first-rate canvases by Jean Honore Fragonard (1732-1806), an artist who antedated the Impressionists by almost a century in their passion for the effects of light...
...fronts, spread out through the dry, brush-matted hills of Altadena, Capistrano, Malibu. Soon the tawny, tumbled country on all sides of Los Angeles was a mass of crackling flame. Beneath huge billows of smoke, it sprinted across the arid hills, licking up bungalows threatening oil depots, stealing down lush valleys to frizzle acres of fruit...
