...minute operatic treatment of Honoré de Balzac's spine-tingler La Grande Bretêche, with music by California-born Stanley Hollingsworth, 32, pupil and protégé of Gian Carlo Menotti. Commissioned by the NBC Opera Company, Bretêche closely follows the Balzac tale-a bedroom farce given the Grand Guignol treatment- about a wife who hastily conceals her lover in a closet, swears to her husband there is no one there, and then stands by in helpless horror as the husband has the closet bricked up. While much of the original's strength...
...made his American debut at eleven in 1887 (he played brilliantly, but his So-concert tour was halted after 42 performances by the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Children), later became one of the world's most highly praised and best-paid artists; in Los Angeles.

Stanley, a Byrd protégé, was widely applauded for his statement that he planned "no precipitate action," but would work for a program "in keeping with the edict of the court." A commission headed by State Senator Garland Gray produced a middle-road desegregation plan...
...Bench: Good Democrat Brennan was appointed (by Republican Governor Alfred Driscoll) to New Jersey Superior Court in 1949 (appellate and trial divisions), then in 1952 to the State Supreme Court. He is a protégé of New Jersey's leonine Chief Justice Arthur Vanderbilt (TIME, Feb. 21, 1955), is hardworking, respected by lawyers, who have often found themselves discomfited because Brennan "sometimes catches you off guard." His opinions are clear, thoughtful, moderate; his mind is quick and sharp. As chairman of a New Jersey committee on calendar control and pretrial conference procedure, he helped give the state...
