Illinois' Les Arends, the Republican whip, declared that Acheson's continued presence in the Cabinet was "an affront to the nation." California's Republican Senator William Knowland said he would move to withhold all State Department appropriations. Said Georgia's James C. Davis, a Democrat: "How long can Americans be expected...

He had come to open his formal campaign...

In the second scene, Balanchine managed to move the evil Kostchei and his 40 demons back & forth diagonally in four groups, so that City Center's scant (40-ft.) stage always seemed full of excitement but never cluttered. Throughout, it was the most stunning ballet production Manhattan balletomanes had seen in many a moon. With the final curtain, the audience set up the kind of clamor that...
