Now, with his decision to move ahead into the research and development phase of Minuteman, Defense Secretary Neil McElroy, only 20 weeks in office, is driving for a second-generation ring around the U.S.S.R. designed to deter war and to support U.S. diplomacy through the mid-and late-1960s. Target date for the first 50 to 60 Minuteman missiles on the defense line: July...

But she infused the character of Violetta with ardency, hectic gaiety and a dampened passion that flickered through the role like a wayward fever. Her deathbed agonies had the quiet poignancy and the ring of truth that so often evade lesser artists. All in all, Callas gave the Met its most exciting Traviata in years, and demonstrated again that she has lost none of the turbulent appeal that can magnetize an audience at the flick of an arm or a twist of the head...
