...surely one of the world's most extraordinary bestsellers. Written in 1933 by a Spanish priest named Jose-maria Escrivá, it consists of 999 aphorisms (sample: "Be firm! Be strong! Be a man! And then-be an angel!") that come so close to Dale Carnegie's exhortations that it might well be called How to Win Friends and Influence God. Yet The Way has sold more than 2,000,000 copies in 15 languages, including Tagalog and Swahili, and is now being translated into 15 other tongues. It is the only written credo of a rapidly expanding...
Amsterdam's renowned, 78-year-old Concertgebouw Orchestra, on the eve of a 1956 performance of the Cherubini Requiem in C Minor, desperately needed a substitute for ailing Conductor Carlo Maria Giulini; it turned to 27year-old Bernard Haitink, an assistant conductor and former second violinist of the Dutch Radio Orchestra, who had led the work not long before. "No," replied Haitink. "I'm not ready, and anyway, I'd like to stay alive." Hotter heads prevailed.

Maria told the court she thought Vergottis was double-dealing her out of a $168,000 interest in the tub. It was a curious thing for him to do, too, she added characteristically, because "Mr. Vergottis respected me and loved me. There are quite a few people who do that once...
Like Odysseus, Greek Shipping Millionaire Aristotle Onassis, 60, seems compelled to wander endlessly over the wine-dark sea. At least his raft is pretty comfortable. And so is the company. This time Ari and his constant companion, Maria Callas, 43, drifted into Nassau harbor aboard Onassis' 325-ft., $3,000,000 yacht Christina, a magnificent barge that comes equipped with its own twin-engined seaplane, swimming pool and crew of 50. After posing in the rosy-fingered dawn for a photographer from the Bahamas Ministry of Tourism, the wanderers steamed off toward Palm Beach...
