...Washington last week, the Manchester Guardian's brilliant, bookish Max Freedman attended an Old Vic performance of Saint Joan at the National Theater and escorted an old friend-Jacqueline Kennedy. The week before, Freedman sat down in the White House for a chat with another old friend-John F. Kennedy. Rated by his peers as the best foreign correspondent covering the U.S. capital, Max Freedman boasts channels of communication that few of them can match. But even those on less familiar terms with the President and his wife share Freedman's conviction that Washington is the best news...
...concerts with an old Russian friend, Pianist Vladimir Horowitz. It was not until after World War II, when he married and settled down in Manhattan, that he began to build a reputation as something more than an extraordinarily gifted virtuoso. Milstein is still a master of the bravura composers-Max Bruch, Sarasate-but he has found new and interesting things to say about Brahms, Beethoven, Bach. The keynotes of great Milstein performances are their flash and fire. Milstein is willing to take chances-on trip-hammer tempos, flashing colors, amazing fluctuations in volume. His taste as a listener runs...

The great love affair was over. Extreme cruelty has been charged by both parties...
...Max & Maria. Acting is partly "a matter of family," explains Max with disarming candor, since "in Germany we Schells are like the Barrymores were in the U.S." Born in Vienna in 1930, Max is the third of four children of Swiss Poet-Playwright Hermann Schell. His mother was an actress. His brother Karl has established a sound acting reputation on the Continent. His younger sister, now called Editha Nordberg. is developing as a European film star. And his older sister, Maria, of course, is the most celebrated Germanic actress since Marlene Dietrich...
