Bleak Existence. Switzerland's reliable Neue Zürcher Zeitung two weeks ago reported that Czechoslovakia, whose leaders have resisted liberalization more stubbornly than anyone else in Eastern Europe, is in a state comparable to "that of Poland just before the rising in Poznan."

...complicated polyphony, and the chorus sang in as many as twelve parts. Some found the rainbow shower of sound to their liking; others were puzzled and distracted, wondered whether the oratorio-like work was an opera at all. But Paris' Le Monde called it a miracle.
