Eugene Ormandy, with the Philadelphia Orchestra (Columbia), provides neither the intimacy of Bernstein nor the clarity of Klemperer; instead, he produces a brilliant, brassily dramatic sweep of his own, on which he carries his rich-voiced but not exceptional singers, Lili Chookasian and Richard Lewis...
...Nailed That Bastard!" It was Olds who early this year led the first fighter sweep of the war, suckering seven MIGs to their fate (TIME, Jan. 13). Flying a 1,450-m.p.h. F-4C Phantom fighter nicknamed Scat, he dropped one supersonic MIG-21 himself in that sortie, added another on May 4 while flying MIGCAP (for "combat air patrol") in a raid on the Hanoi transformer installation. A weekend ago, he and his "gibs" (guy-in-the-back-seat, or copilot) spotted 15 slower but more maneuverable MIG-17s coming up fast during a fighter-bomber raid 40 miles...
Punctuated by an unquiet, 24-hour interlude of truce to celebrate the birth day of Buddha, the ground war in Viet Nam quickly made up for lost time with more of the ferociousness and high casualties that have marked it in recent weeks. The Marines ended their sweep through the Demilitarized Zone on the eve of the truce, but quickly thrust back into it when a battalion of Marines to the south was hit by fire from Hill 117 inside the DMZ. The battalion was joined by a second, and the two counterattacked. After a fierce battle in which...
Operation Hickory's sweep into the DMZ has proved a success by any measure. The Allies killed an estimated 1,500 North Vietnamese and seized a rich cache of enemy supplies, from gas masks and mortar shells to a new So viet 82-mm. recoilless rifle. The thrust also served to isolate enemy forces operating to the south in Quang Tri province, cutting them off from their supply routes and their ammunition caches. But Hickory's cost was high: it contributed heavily to a new record of 337 U.S. deaths for the week ending May 20, plus...
...Auden and Allen Tate were both, in Auden's word, "colonizers" of the terrain that Pound and Eliot discovered. Theodore Roethke was already a major poet when he died in 1963 at 55. The late Dylan Thomas, with his crosscountry sweep of public performances, helped carry poetry into the floodlit arena. So did the beats. Of them, only Allen Ginsberg retains any influence, perhaps less for his poems than for his relentlessly acted role as the bewhiskered prophet of four-letter words, homosexuality, pot, and general din. Still, in their better moments, the beats, now fitfully imitated...
