Picasso once brushed aside a criticism that his portrait of Gertrude Stein did not look like her by saying simply: "It will." In Manhattan, Vienna-trained Painter Rudolf Ray, 63, is trying to go Picasso one better. His aim: to arrive at the final "soulscape," the abstract essence of the sitter, by painting a series of eight portraits-one on top of the other. To the uninitiated the soulscapes may look like nothing more than shards of colored glass or a heavy calligraphic scrawl. But to Ray's followers, who include Hindu gurus, Taoist philosophers and Jung disciples...
...Master Mechanic Louis Edson looks over the stage set and okays it. General Manager Rudolf Bing marches purposefully across the stage but speaks to no one. Faust (Tenor Thomas Hayward) steps out of the elevator from his third-floor dressing room, looking uncomfortable in his heavy overcoat and old-man's false forehead and wig.

When Bestselling Author Rudolf Flesch (The Art of Plain Talk) offered to give a friend's twelve-year-old son some "remedial reading," Flesch discovered that the boy was not slow or maladjusted; he had merely been "exposed to an ordinary American school."

The Latin American delegations came prepared with a 50-page prospectus of more than 300 specific projects in their home countries to show U.S. investors. At the opening meeting...
...mind to, filled the cast with stars: Hilde Gueden and Eleanor Steber as the pretty sisters, Blanche Thebom as their mother, Brian Sullivan and George London as the suitors. Ralph Herbert (in a creditable Met debut) was the father, and Coloratura Roberta Peters was an impudent little flirt. Newcomer Rudolf Kempe fanned the Met orchestra to a fine performance, but the playing was so loud that it recalled the time when Strauss himself shouted from the back of a rehearsal hall: "Louder! Louder! I can still hear the singers...
