Parry, an authority on the Spanish and Portuguese empires in America, came to Harvard last fall from the University of Wales where he was vice-chancellor. From 1956 to 1960 he was principal of University College, in Ibadan, Nigeria, now the University of Ibadan...
Principal reporter on the story was William Rademaekers, who covered the Hungarian uprising ten years ago, has since been based in Bonn, Washington and Rome, and next week will open our Eastern Europe bureau in Budapest. His fluency in Hungarian and German and his knowledge of Italian and Spanish should serve him well there. For the cover story, he made three trips to Rumania and Hungary, two to Czechoslovakia and one to Poland. Of course he was not alone on the story.

Senators never felt grander. The Congress decided what industries to protect with tariffs, what railroads to build, what public works to undertake. They chose, or thought they chose, Presidents.

...excellent production was something of a United Nations effort, what with an Italian conductor (Bruno Amaducci), an Estonian director (Ulf Thomson), a Greek baritone (Rudolf Constatin), an Australian soprano (Althea Bridges), a Japanese basso (Kunikazu Ohashi) and a Spanish tenor (José Maria Perez). The libretto deals with Attila's siege of Italy in the 5th century and is embellished with the usual subplots of revenge, lust and political hanky-panky. What makes the opera worth the salvaging is the vigor and sheer melodic beauty of the score. Though Verdi the patriot worked at odds with Verdi the composer...
