...than enemies. As in the Presidential campaign last year, the workers began to suspect that if a man was so hated by Capital he must have considerable to offer to Labor. Privately and publicly damned as a communist, an alien agitator, a ruthless doctrinaire, an unscrupulous wrecker with a lust for power, Harry Bridges has become, in three years, the bogey man of the Pacific...
These wild-eyed tribesmen scattered in mud huts through three countries-Turkey, Iran, Iraq-have had battle lust for 3,000 years, have never knuckled under to non-Kurdish governments. From Istanbul last week came news of probably the biggest riot of Turkey's Kurds since the War.

Others find its eery, passionate songs unforgettable. These were more than grateful when Artur Rodzinski announced he would put on a concert version of the opera with the Philharmonic-Symphony he has been guest-conducting all month (TIME, March 8), looked forward to hearing...
