...churches in and around Hawley, Minn. In the winter and spring of 1958, the minister's son, Presidential Assistant Gabriel Hauge, showed the same old-fashioned fortitude in the face of icy winds of another kind. With the U.S. economy slipping downward, panicky cries for drastic federal intervention rang out in Washington and across the U.S. But calm, articulate Gabriel Hauge, sometime economics teacher at Princeton and Harvard, economics assistant to the President of the U.S. since the start of Ike's first term, counseled his boss to resist the pressures for inflation-breeding, damn-the-deficits programs...
...riled the extremist colons of Algeria as his failure to give a Cabinet post to their burly idol, Jacques ("Le Tombeur") Soustelle, the Parisian politician who was the brains of the Algerian settlers' revolt against the Fourth Republic. When, during his first visit to Algeria, the streets rang with the cry "Vive Soustelle!", De Gaulle in his laconic and oracular way merely said: "Soustelle will have a place at my side."

His voice sharpened, and his wide-set blue eyes darted up and raked the faces of the seven subcommittee members: "Is there any member of this committee who has not made...

After a postman spends the night, the husband rebels; the wife silences him by strangling him with her scarf. At Spoleto last week, the postman rang the bell twice-both as to libretto (by Poet Harry Duncan) and music. Composer Hoiby's score was deft, dramatic, highly descriptive, reminiscent of Gian Carlo Menotti, who taught Hoiby at Philadelphia's Curtis Institute. The opera had tension as well as lyric elasticity, especially when the postman...
