Last week, in togas and sandals, the Junior Classical League delegates made New Mexico's neo-Pueblo campus look like a set from Ben-Hur. Gorged on deviled eggs in the Student Union, supine banqueters cheered a female snake dancer. Borne on a litter into the football stadium, purple-robed League President Ernest ("The Emperor'') Polansky, 18, gave his pagan blessing to Olympic games, complete with chariot races. In deadly earnest, white-robed candidates for top offices politicked in the ballroom. Taking no chances, they made their convention pitches in English...
...Italy, this speed was almost unprecedented. But the politicians had been scared by the riots the Communists had staged a fortnight ago to protest the 24 neo-Fascist votes that gave the Tambroni government its majority. The riots had not amounted to much in themselves. But they vividly demonstrated that the Communists had at last latched on to a popular issue after years of political isolation, shocked the squabbling non-Communist parties into amenability.

But there was little rejoicing among liberal Italians, who recognized the neo-Fascists as a constant source of similar trouble for the government. Wrote Pundit Enrico Mattei: "The Tambroni government cannot go while there is violence. But when the violence ends, let it go in favor of a more representative government stronger and better equipped to cope with sedition...
...members of juries. To answer these, the Festival included an ancillary exhibit of two paintings each by members of the selection jury: Loring Coleman, Fannie Hillsmith, Gyorgy Kepes, Walter Meigs, and Richard Ziemann. These were all excellent of their kind, though only Miss Hillsmith, with her (to me uncongenial) neo-Grandma Moses manner, could be said to be committed to a wholly representational style...
