...other publications were permitted to reprint El Catolicismo's stern words; clandestine duplicates were passed from hand to hand and read avidly. But the reprints were not the only notable news reports in circulation. Two important Bogota dailies, both suppressed by Rojas Pinilla, popped up again last week under pen names. Internationally respected El Tiempo reappeared as El Intermedia (Interlude), and El Espectador as El Inde-pendiente.

As it worked out, RCA succeeded in adding two of its performing artists to Hurok's original list of ten. Hurok managed to keep Violinist Stern, who records for Columbia, and Soprano Tebaldi, who records for London, in the show. Hurok and RCA then faced an onslaught by the Metropolitan Opera's General Manager Rudolf Bing, who refused to allow Tebaldi to do a 15-minute version of Traviata for fear that it might take...
