...France's Jean Guichet and Italy's Nino Vaccarella: the Twenty-Four Hours of Le Mans, pushing their bloodred, 320-h.p. Ferrari prototype 2,915.8 miles at an average speed of 121.49 m.p.h. over the 8.3-mile circuit southwest of Paris. The much-touted duel between Ferrari and Ford turned out to be a bust when none of the three new Ford racers-first team entry by a major U.S. manufacturer at Le Mans since 1928-managed to finish. California's Dan Gurney and Bob Bondurant saved a scrap of prestige for the U.S., placing fourth overall...
Conductor Nino Sanzogno explained to his cast at Milan's Piccola Scala that the Italian premiere of Kurt Weill's Mahagonny would have to include some English lyrics: the bitter logic of Bertolt Brecht's libretto demands them. The cast did its best with a baffling array of polyglot lines ("Good morning, caro Signor Jack O'Brien!"), but when it came to singing "Worst of all, Benares is said to have been perished by an earthquake," the chorus sensibly defected.

Apart from palming off his mistress on an aging lecher (Aldo Fabrizi), most of Rugantino's pranks backfire. He tosses a dead cat into...
...donated a circle pierced by a swirling, wavelike bar, supported by a pair of pincers ("It has more grace than most of my work, so I thought it belonged there"); Lynn Chadwick's batlike, three-legged Stranger III will remain on the ramp leading up from the duomo; Nino Franchini's leaping spire of torn steel will stay on the spot where it was made, a cleft between two ancient houses...
Boccaccio '70 (RCA Victor). The sinewy music written by Composers Nino Rota and Armando Trovajoli for the celebrated Italian peep show. In its several parts it manages to combine French swagger with Latin languor-an accomplishment that puts it several notches ahead of mail-order Hollywood prescriptions...
