...Challenge. At a massive rally of party bureaucrats and propagandists in the Kremlin's Palace of the Congresses, Khrushchev spoke with such apoplectic vehemence that at one point he groped for words and rhetorically begged the audience: "Help me out." But he didn't need much help. Angrily defending his destalinization drive against Peking's attacks, he demanded: "What do they want? To frighten our people, to bring back the days when a man went to his job and did not know whether he would see his wife and children again?" Dropping his voice to a dramatic...
...expert manner in which she used her full vocal range, and the lovely lilt of her voice as she ended her statements with "mightn't I?" or "wouldn't it?" helped her to bring the character to life with remarkable naturalness. The sparkle of her eyes as she spoke and the adroitness with which she changed facial expressions and movements created humor in the domineering character of Miss Z.

Classicist Hadas spoke to Negro high school teachers in the first of 18 telelectures on "Great Ideas in Antiquity," a credit course that uses a paperback library of classical drama (cost: $5.70).

Although depending upon the male voices too often, the chorus achieved good co-ordination with the soloists and the orchestra throughout most of the performance. It also had the strength to carry its harmonies against the powerful Boston Symphony...
...apartment. He fumbled with the key-and froze. From the darkness behind him came a tiny rustle of clothing. Then a voice rasped his name.* The man whirled, faced a stocky stranger in a trench coat who stood back in the shadows, his powerful arms outstretched. Again the stranger spoke in Russian: "Don't you know me? I am your brother Volodya." The brothers had been apart for 23 years. Vanya would not have immediately recognized Volodya even in broad daylight. At first he was incredulous, then suspicious. But Volodya convinced Vanya by rattling off a series of childhood...
