...recording made at the 1953 Florence Festival documents the origin of her reputation as one of the finest dramatic sopranos in opera history. Her voice then had an almost unbelievable poignancy and precision, reinforced by an intelligence that makes most other singers' version of the mad scene seem like inane twittering. Tenor Giuseppi Di Stefano, Baritone Tito Gobbi and Conductor Tullio Serafin provide rousingly good support...
Johnson urged such a meeting, arguing that the Soviets seem genuinely eager to talk about mutual reduction in missile stockpiles, and possibly even to discuss more dramatic bilateral arms cuts. But, said Johnson, he would not go ahead without Nixon's approval. Nixon did not favor the idea, and the chances of a summit before Jan. 20 now seem remote. The two men agreed to meet at least once again before Johnson leaves office...
...reason for the Russians' gingerly approach is that they face some grievous internal problems and want time to solve them. Thus, though the Kremlin rulers no longer seem particularly interested in meeting with Lyndon Johnson before he leaves office, they have let it be known that they are eager to confer with the new U.S. President.

Such efforts seem not misguided but essential if Harvard and Radcliffe are ever to unify living resources. Architecturally, Radcliffe already offers potential attractions, when its existing small buildings are contrasted with the large Harvard houses, and when the separated units of Currier are compared to the more monolithic design of Mather. Institutionally, Radcliffe may soon be in a position not simply to imitate Harvard houses, but to compete with them and cooperate with them. Since Harvard's houses seems likely to remain in one form another, isn't this new source of influence one to be strengthened and encouraged? Peter...
