...More Moonlight. For some nations, having an anthem at all seems almost as improbable as some of the verses. Many African tribesmen, for example, are unaware that they are members of a nation, much less that they have a song to rise to. Nevertheless, the anthem is something no independent state can do without. Even if national pride did not demand one, international protocol would, and both the British and French, who between them have launched most of the world's new nations, have seen to it that even such remote places as Upper Volta have something to play...
...compare the styles of several virtuosos-Arrau, Backhaus, Brailowsky, Casadesus, Janis and Kempff-in a single benefit concert for the U.N. Commission for World Refugees. The program hitches together the warhorses of the piano repertory, but they are played with freshness and excitement.

Resort operators grumble that soaring costs will dampen the $90 million-a-year tourist trade. The cost of living, up 19% last year, spiraled another 9% in 1965's first quarter. The hardest hit was food, which has risen an average 30% in the past year; such items as beef, pork, apples, potatoes and top-quality slivovitz (plum brandy) have jumped between 50% and 100%. Prices have also risen for everything from haircuts...
...special magic of the born troubadour. His pen is as agile as his eye, whether summing up Las Vegas in a phrase ("never meant to be seen by day") or invoking the excitement of cross-country scootering: "Jenny and Couchette slide in and out among the cars like moonlight on railroad tracks." An enchanted journey to "the kind of country you dream of running away to when you are very young and innocently hungry, before you learn that all that land is owned by somebody...
