...square hands shaped the phrases; her high-cheekbonsd, chalky face was alternately sullen and sad. In her best song, I Hate Sundays ("Every day of the week is empty and hollow, but there's worse than the weekday, there's pretentious Sunday"), her voice faded to an organ whisper. Even in the gayer songs, delivered in a gutty shout, she seemed to be drowning out the memory of something she would rather forget...
Last week the Italian Communist Party organ Unita printed a dispatch from its Budapest correspondent suggesting that if the U.S. would request it, Hungary's puppet Premier Janos Kadar would be happy to grant Mindszenty a safe-conduct allowing him to leave both the legation and Hungary. To these officially inspired Communist overtures, there was a noticeable absence of response by both the Vatican and his U.S. hosts...
That long, extraordinary career began in the small, dusty Catalan town of Vendrell, south of Barcelona, where Casals' father was a church organist. By the time the boy was eleven, he had mastered the organ, piano and violin and had turned to the cello and the music of Bach (later he was to begin each of his days by playing a few minutes of Bach's Well Tempered Clavichord).

Wooldridge marshals his thoughts carefully, is all business and lucidity, can make abstruse technical problems easily understandable to a layman; Ramo speaks...
Shining in the sunlight that flooded the nave towered the figure that dominated the occasion (opposite). Gentle and merciful, yet awesome in its serene majesty, the figure stands 16 ft. tall, high above the floor of the nave, resting against a concrete cylinder that houses the echo organ and at the apex of a concrete parabolic arch that springs from the ground and spans the nave. In the great tradition of Byzantine religious art, the figure is elongated and primitively covered with a boxlike drape. But the head, feet and hands are done with expressive realism, the head forceful...
