When the U.K. and France acted, Dulles erupted in '"hostility amounting almost to frenzy. There may have been other reasons. Perhaps the grim disease which was later to prove mortal had affected his psychological and intellectual equilibrium. Perhaps the spectre of Soviet Russia, now armed with the terrible nuclear weapon, had begun to haunt his dreams. He clearly lost his temper; he may also have lost his nerve. In any event, we and our French allies were now to face an attack, skillfully devised and powerfully executed, in which the protagonists were the Russian and American Governments, acting together...
...about cornered the market on dissident Communists," says Actor Richard Burton. Having just finished playing Yugoslavia's Marshal Tito (TIME, Oct. 18), he is now Stalin's mortal enemy, Leon Trotsky, in The Assassination of Trotsky, being filmed in Rome by U.S. Director Joseph Losey. Elizabeth Taylor anxiously monitored the scene in which the murderer, played by French Actor Alain Delon, sneaks up behind Trotsky with an Alpine ice ax hidden under his coat.

Noting that "there are some Americans who apparently think they know what is good and what is bad for other Americans to hear on the radio and to see on television," Ervin charged that the "sweeping Government regulation of broadcasting implicit in this view...
...nation's concert halls the sound of trouble-financial, artistic, moral, spiritual-is growing louder every day. The New York Philharmonic is not a conspicuous example. With a safe home in Manhattan's Lincoln Center and an endowment of $10 million, it is hardly in mortal peril. But its officers-President Carlos Moseley, Board Chairman Amyas Ames-have seen the need to face change and the future. Boulez is the result. A relative newcomer to the international conducting ranks, he is also largely untried in the familiar repertory of late 18th century and 19th century staples, so that...
