...magnum to TIME for your photopus on Florida! I regret that the format did not permit presentation of one of the most pressing problems in our state-educational quality in the several state universities. Quality is subtle, but there is nothing subtle about the continuing loss of outstanding teachers and researchers from one's alma mater for better opportunities elsewhere. The "pursuit of excellence" is becoming a rout! The demand for "rigor" in education is fast yielding to rigor mortis instead...
...Soviet Academy of Sciences (TIME cover, June 2, 1958), added little new information, but they rehashed the flight with unflagging enthusiasm.

Renata Tebaldi has recorded Liu once before, for a London release, and time seems to have lessened the appropriateness of her great voice for this role. Today, she sounds more like a dramatic Verdian heroine, than a pitiful slavo girl. But her extremely sensitive phrasing...
