...peace feelers, Dan Davidson. The Amherst student leader commented later about Davidson, "it becomes crystal clear to me why there are no negotiations from peace feelers with a man of his views in charge of following up peace feelers. Davidson seemed to view any offer from the Communists prima facie as duplicitous simply because they are Communists. Close minded is perhaps the best word to describe his attitude...

JOAN SUTHERLAND SINGS NOEL COWARD (London). The Australian prima donna has no chance for operatic fireworks but lights little sparklers from Conversation Piece, Bitter Sweet and three later musicals, while Noel himself makes a veddy charming bow (/'// Follow My Secret Heart). The orchestra is lush; the violins sway with the nostalgic waltzes that are light years away from today's Broadway...

...Understudy on second violin: Buried deep within the strings, he feels forgotten. His expression is hangdog, his disposition catty. He lives only for the day when, in some miraculous burst of virtuosity, he will dethrone the hated Prima Donna. Meanwhile, to compensate, he composes sonatas on the side...
