...Douglas Moore's Gallantry: A Soap Opera, produced at Columbia University's Brander Matthews Theater, is a tuneful romp through the world of the daytime TV serial. The libretto by Arnold Sundgaard picks up "another chapter in Gallantry, the true-time story of hope and folly," at the point where a married doctor is pursuing his beautiful nurse, who in turn is in love with one Donald Hopewell. The nurse discourages the doctor with a wallop ("Touché, Miss Markham; I deserved that"), and the etherized Donald is saved just as the doctor is about...

...recent months wily old (66) Socialist Pietro Nenni, the he-loves-me-he-loves-me-not Stalin Peace Prizewinner, has furnished Italian politics with more suspense scenes than a Pearl White serial. Would he or would he not denounce the alliance of his Socialists with the Italian Communists? He had turned back his Stalin Prize, in feigned or real disillusionment with Moscow. Last week, as the 32nd Congress of Nenni's Italian Socialist Party moved to a close, it seemed that Nenni and his followers had at last reconciled themselves to denouncing unequivocally their Communist allies. This would meet...
