...North Vietnamese delegation, in the Red-belt suburb of Choisy-le-Roi, proved nearly as difficult as a trip down the Ho Chi Minh Trail. The N.L.F. soon moved to the Chalet du Lac, a rented villa ($1,200 a month) in the sleepy, suburban town of Verrières les Buisson, eight miles southwest of the Paris city limits, but only 15 minutes' drive from the North Vietnamese headquarters, where the two delegations can coordinate strategy...
Jean Louis Barrault is one of the towering figures of the French stage. A brilliant mime and tragedian, he has also been a potent instigator of dramatic innovation as director of the Théâtre de France, giving world premières of works by such playwrights as Beckett, lonesco and Genet.

For 40 years, before his retirement in 1964 as director of the University of Rochester's Eastman School of Music, he supervised the premières of nearly 2,000 pieces by more than 700-odd U.S. composers. Many of these compositions were in a harshly dissonant, far-out style for which Hanson himself had little liking. Nevertheless, he insisted, "Well-knit music that sounds like hell is still competent musicianship and deserves a hearing...
