...prominent side of the Fantasy resembles the dominant tone of the Variations: insistent, clangorous declamation. Since this percussiveness is always transparent and shrewdly manipulates the piano's tone colors, it avoids bombast or irritating din. Declamation forms the backbone of this far-ranging piece through two motives that recur with triumphant resonance, one a defiant, metallic rattle of repeated notes, the other a thunderously rhetorical passage, of two lines roaring together from the outskirts of the piano. The responsive ear will delight in the grating dissonances and, what's more, it will do so even more after repeated listening...
...relation to the doings of men, it serves as a sharp warning to liberal legalists. In the near past it has been easy for committees to ride waves of panic, ruin men without any sort of trial, and silence opposition with fear. In the near future such things may recur. The Supreme Court has given the clearest indication that legal bulwarks against Congressional committees are not enough. Men interested in preventing what Black calls government by intimidation had best look to Congress, and--slight as the chances now seem--goad it into leashing its own committees...
...year of diplomatic junketing by all heads of state, Herter's travels have produced no dramatics-either soaring victories or crashing defeats. "The method of doing business has changed," says a ranking State Department official. "The element of immediate crisis has been held in abeyance. Whether it will recur after the summit, I don't know." Yet, in Herter's year, the U.S. has strengthened its position in the Middle East, in Communist-menaced Southeast Asia, in Japan, in Latin America, and has even lifted (by dint of presidential diplomacy) Khrushchev's Berlin ultimatum...
...faded, Sabater increasingly forayed across the border for his own profit. He robbed the homes of the well-to-do by night, banks by day, and always managed to shoot his way out of trouble, killing seven policemen in the process. At times, flashes of the old fervor would recur: in 1949 he planted bombs in the Brazilian, Peruvian and Bolivian consulates in Barcelona, because their governments supported Franco in a U.N. debate. So astonishing were his exploits that Barcelonians finally concluded that Sabater was a myth, a scapegoat invented by the police for all their unsolved crimes...
...that it seemed permanent, has been eliminated. Agriculture Department allocated last 20 million Ibs. to school lunch program. Government will still buy butter, give it away to schools and welfare groups as production increases next spring, but grand-scale surpluses of past years are unlikely to recur. Reason: overall milk production has failed to increase in proportion to consumer demand...
