...Martin's charm, the least of Hayward's flim-flamboyance. And in Ralph Meeker he viciously personifies the police power in a native Fascist regime. But it is Actor White-a British trouper usually cast as a potty colonel, a flaccid vicar, or a dear old rose fiend in Sussex-who domi nates the audience as a waving cobra fascinates a mouse. With his small, reptilian grin and oily suppleness, he conveys the immemorial image of the big political snake, the everlasting reason why you can't fight city hall...
Tireless is the word for Showman Billy Rose. Fortnight ago, acting as head of the fine arts committee for Israel's new Jerusalem Museum of Art, he announced that he had persuaded U.S. Sculptor Jacques Lipchitz to bequeath 300 original plasters to the museum.* Last week he announced another coup.

Presumably, the select group of invited critics and music lovers came with the expectation of hearing The Spanish Lady and The Roman Cavalier, a retitle for Alessandro Scarlatti's long-forgotten comic opera, Scipio in Spain, composed in 1714. What they got was Scarlatti heavily laced with Salvador Dali, theatrical effects, erotic dancers and leering double-entendres...
...year, argues that the budget will nonetheless be balanced because tax revenues will increase as much as $10 billion-without an increase in tax rates. To do that, the economy would at least have to match the rebound year of 1959, when revenues jumped $10 billion as corporate profits rose by $9.4 billion, personal income by $23 billion, and G.N.P. by $38 billion...
