...Wonderful News." There were, to be sure, some early exceptions to the general handwringing. The New York Daily News was predictably truculent in advising President Eisenhower about how to reply to Khrushchev's charges: "To sweet talk this rat at this time would only encourage him to further pre-summit impudence." Said Hearst's San Francisco Examiner: "The way some people are talking, you would think we had sold our world leader ship down the Volga." Said the Chicago Tribune: "In the bargaining at the sum mit, the Soviet demands and claims will be deterred only...
...spry, bright-eyed man of 75, whose working companion these days is a sweet-faced alley cat with a raucous meow, De Creeft took one sensational detour while still in Paris. It happened one day when "I was sick in the bed." The great flamenco dancer Escudero suddenly burst in and demanded that he make something for a party that would take place that night.

Karl Malden, Agnes Moorehead. Donald Crisp, Nancy Olson), and generally calculated its gasps and sniffles...

The work is roughly a catalogue of the emotional ages of man, beginning in "life's sweet-scented morning," and concluding with the peaceful resignation of "The Farewell" ("My heart is still and waits for its deliverance"). Walter's intense performance last week wonderfully illuminated the score's leafy detail, and the orchestra under his baton played with an ardor and mellow tone it rarely...
