Almost without exception, responsible Western economists recognize that to deny that Red China is growing economically would be selfdelusion. At a fearful price in oppression and human suffering, the Chinese Communists have, as Chou En-lai claims, made "earthshaking changes" in the Chinese economy in the last decade. But faced with the phantasmagoric nonsense emerging from Peking last week, even those Westerners most ready to be impressed by Chinese Communist accomplishments could do nothing but shrug: "Here we go again...
Only on major cold-war issues does Latin America usually side with the U.S. -and even then there is always the temptation to pluck a feather from the eagle. Example: admission to the U.N. of Red China, which has been staging a major propaganda drive across Latin America (TIME, July 27). Last month Cuban Delegate Manuel Bisbe made the first open gesture by abstaining from backing the block-Red China bloc.

Symphony. The New York Philharmonic returned in triumph from its ten-week, ANTA-sponsored tour of Europe and the Near East, was greeted at Carnegie Hall with a red carpet, laurel-draped boxes, and placards reading "Welcome Home, International Heroes!" All told, the orchestra had played a brain-fogging total of 50 concerts in 29 cities of 17 countries. Unfortunately, the pace showed. The program was one that Bernstein and crew had played repeatedly in Europe: Beethoven's "Egmont" Overture and Triple Concerto (with Lenny conducting from the piano), Shostakovich's Fifth Symphony. Conductor Bernstein gave...
