...GARDEN OF THE FINZI-CONTINIS, by Giorgio Bassani. The author was responsible for the posthumous publication of The Leopard, and he has learned much from the master. Bassani's gracefully written novel depicts the elegant, decadent world of a rich Jewish family and its confrontation with Fascism and death...
...case so that it infringes upon a basic right of every American citizen, white and Negro: the right to pass his property on to whomever he desires. If, by endowing a school for "poor, white male orphans," Mr. Girard discriminated against the Negro, then he also discriminated against the rich and females and children who are not orphans. If it is discriminatory for a man to will his money to an orphanage for poor, white male orphans, is it not also discriminatory if a man wills money to a Baptist church or to a Catholic missionary?

...diplomatic field Shastri's vagueness and middle-course tendencies are less likely to cause trouble. Red China still occupies 14,500 sq. mi. of Himalayan India; the injection of massive U.S. military aid has helped deter Peking from pushing downhill into the oil-and rice-rich plains along the Brahmaputra adjacent to Burma.

In the mountains to the north, a grizzled farmer, Vicente Santiago, 65, worried his head over his ten children, his ten hens, his three acres of coffee, platano and corn-and little else. If there was trouble in Santo Domingo...
...muscles were all relaxed, and I wondered how it would come out." After eleven months' convalescence following a heart attack, Mahalia was still a little weak and scaled down from her old 250 Ibs. to a relatively gaunt 160 Ibs. She needn't have wondered about her rich contralto: it came out just fine. To save her the wear of traveling to studios on the East or West coasts, Columbia Records hauled some special tape equipment to Chicago. And there last week in the choir loft of the South Side's Greater Salem Baptist Church, where...
