...last week to deliver a hearty poke at the ribs of a fellow Democratic presidential possible, Massachusetts' John Fitzgerald Kennedy. Said Hubert: "Hello, Jack. What's this I hear? Have you been cutting me up again?" Replied Kennedy with a smile: "Not me, Hubert. Why, just last night I told a group that you would make an excellent President-but you could never be elected." Grinned Hubert: "You bastard...
...Soviet bear hug seemed full of earthy cordiality. At Stalin's old dacha 60 miles southeast of Moscow, Macmillan and Khrushchev jaunted companionably through the pine woods in a troika, sharing a lap robe and chatting with apparent candor about the great issues of the cold war. Next night in the British embassy Khrushchev harked back to the Geneva Conference of 1955 (which Macmillan attended as Britain's Foreign Minister), warmly told the Prime Minister: "It was with your help that the Geneva spirit was created...
...intimate and frank discussion. The Cold War. From the moment Macmillan learned of Khrushchev's speech, relations between the two Premiers became a contest in coldness.

In one superb but all too short phrase, the Orchestra demonstrated that it knows...
...again, as always, top honors rests with the soloists, O'Brien Nicholas and Thomas Beveridge. By now, heaping any more praise on these two becomes boring to reviewer and reader, but they insist on turning in performance after immaculate performance of the highest musicianship. Last night it seemed as though Beveridge might have trouble with his high part, but his complete mastery over his voice and unerring phrasing pulled him through. Miss Nicholas surpassed her best with a flawless reading of an enormously difficult sustained aria. Her voice had even more richness and color than in the past...
