...shorter works, Hindemith's "Five Pieces for Orchestra," Op. 44 and Scarlatti's "Sonata a Quattro" in d minor, followed the Bach. The fast parts of both these compositions were well handled by the orchestra. Yet, a more expressive and tender approach seemed in order for the slower Hindemith pieces while more majesty could have been suggested in the second movement of the Baroque "Sonata." The disappointment in these passages seemed to be due to an incomplete understanding of the music on Harbison's part. He continued to emphasize rhythmic vigor when the works really required more attention...
...Southeast Asia, nationalism has forced the Christian churches to speed up the process of turning control over to native churchmen. Just back from a two-month tour of African missions, Methodist Bishop Gerald Kennedy of Los Angeles said last week that the whole future of Christianity in that part of the world depends on the speed and success of the handover. "We have failed in that we have tried to keep too much control by running 'white missions,' " said Kennedy. "We need to train more natives so that the missions can become more of the people. The Christian...
...Asmara, Eritrea, Ethiopia, a conference of 83 delegates from 32 church bodies met to consider relations with Islam and give forth a message "to all our brothers in Christ."

With penitence and humility we confess our need for a new spirit of respect and friendship for Moslems, through which the barriers of suspicion and fear will disappear...
...acrobatic Jester (a happy Russian addition to the ballet). Occasionally ragged the first evening, the Bolshoi's Swan Lake was danced with fine precision at the second performance. The repetitive, copybook attitudes of the ballet corps occasionally clotted the action and wearied the eye. But for the most part, the old war horse of the classic ballet came alive with a freshness it rarely achieves. A big part of the reason: the Russians approach the old fairy tale with simple, direct, unsophisticated conviction that communicates a sense of joy to the audience...
Channel IV, from a directional scintillator, measures the amount of radiation energy passing through the instrument's window each second. The significant parts of the line are its depressions below the flat parts: the deeper they are, the greater the energy. The depressions come in cycles reflecting the tumbling of the satellite, but some of the energy is recorded when the scintillator is "looking away" from the direction of the radiation. This reveals that the lower part of the Van Allen radiation belt contains particles powerful enough to pass through the shielding around the scintillator...
