...Cherubini and Prokofiev symphonies. The Kansas City Philharmonic, lucky to make its 25th season despite a big deficit, was out to win new fans by playing in movie houses, churches, synagogues and high-school auditoriums (one concert will be sponsored by the Katz Drug Co.; admittance: a cash-register receipt). Manhattan's Metropolitan Opera opens this week with Tchaikovsky's Eugene Onegin, while in Fergus Falls, Minn. (pop. 14,000) a bravura rendering of Norwegian folk songs was given by a 70-voice male chorus, and 300 citizens were studying Handel's Messiah for a Christmas performance...

Married and shortly in receipt of Gerry's gentlemanly blessing ("the best man won"), the couple head for the Punjab and Peter's civil-service duties...

Syria's first remittance turned out to be not a check but a cheeky receipt-for "services" provided Jordan by Syrian army units stationed in Jordan since last fall's Suez invasion. Desperately convinced that Jordan's only way to survive as a kingdom was to qualify for U.S. Eisenhower plan aid, the young King publicly denounced Communist influence in the country and set out to purge...
