...bloc countries except Rumania. In what was read by observers as an outgrowth of that conference, Literaturnaya Gazeta, a leading Soviet weekly, last week reprinted a Polish article rebuking Rumania for taking a neutral position in the Chinese-Soviet dispute. In an even harsher tone-the official Hungarian daily Magyar Hirlap reported that Chinese Premier Chou En-lai would visit Albania, Yugoslavia and Rumania this fall. Since all three nations have asserted varying degrees of independence from Moscow, the Budapest paper warned that Chou's junket "has an anti-Soviet edge." For the first time, the paper also spoke...

...Paris and brushed elbow patches with artists whose works he was to fake in years to come. Life was an amusement that ended abruptly with World War II. Totally apolitical, Elmyr was nevertheless shipped off to a Transylvanian concentration camp. "I was," he says with Magyar flair, "obviously too colorful a person for the safety of the state."

...odds with the coloristic shading of the piece. Instead of varying from lustrous to astringent, from cantabile to martellato, Mr. Buswell overexercised most of the themes with an unvarying weightiness.
