...impatience for a summit on any terms, Adenauer's quibbles with Britain and quarrels with his own party, De Gaulle's insistent demand for big-power status. But serious headlines, based on the anxieties of the moment, are apt to obscure basic trends that move more slowly-slower trends that justified a more optimistic outlook in July...
...swept the short dash events at the 1956 Olympic Games, 23-year-old Bobby Morrow, late of Texas' Abilene Christian College, has been recognized as the world's No. 1 sprinter. But this year Morrow has won occasionally but lost often-not because he is running any slower but because a new crop of sprinters has appeared to make a wholesale onslaught on the 9.3-sec. world record for the 100-yd. dash. So far this year three of Morrow's challengers-Bill Woodhouse, Ray Norton and Roscoe Cook-have equaled the world record...
...doubt as to the quality of this year's crew was dispelled last week when the varsity broke the downstream record in both its two time trials.

The fast parts of both these compositions were well handled by the orchestra. Yet, a more expressive and tender approach seemed in order for the slower Hindemith pieces while more majesty could have been suggested in the second movement of the Baroque "Sonata." The disappointment in these passages seemed to be due to an incomplete understanding of the music on Harbison's part. He continued to emphasize rhythmic vigor when the works really required more attention...
