Since Eshkol cannot keep Dayan quiet, he is trying to outmaneuver him by publicly championing another military man: Major General Yitzhak Rabin, 45, the present Israeli chief of staff. Eshkol has declared that Rabin, not Dayan, deserves the major credit for Israel's stunning victory. And indeed he does. Dayan's appointment to the Cabinet was unquestionably a morale booster, but Rabin was the commander in the field. He was the man responsible for the superb condition of the army...
Compared with the swaggering Sukarno, whom he replaced last year as Indonesia's top man, General Suharto is a cautious and colorless fellow-which is just what Indonesia needs.

...intimate scale, pervading sweetness and utter predictability, is a distinct contrast to Verdi's powerful, primitive themes and vaulting imagination. But the company -notably the two leads, Tenor Giacomo Aragall and Soprano Renata Scotto-traded the flawed gusto of its Trovatore and Nabucco performances for restraint and quiet artistry, making Capuleti the only production of the week to come off with cohesiveness and unity of effect...
