...Rorem is tall, dark, hand some and undoubtedly the best com poser of art songs now living. "I can put anything to music, including the en cyclopedia," he once remarked, with an engaging lack of diffidence. The New York City Opera and the Ford Foundation believed him, commissioned him to do an opera. Last week Rorem's opera, based on Strindberg's Miss Julie, had its premiere. The overall verdict: Rorem would have been better off with the encyclopedia - and the U.S. is still looking for its first major operatic composer...
...This tall, thin guy named Horne led the orchestra and stretched out a couple of things and added a few things to the music. The sound kind of bounced your head a little, cause it's a big place, but I liked it. Sometimes, though the orchestra guys and the chorus guys didn't seem to be going the same place at the same time, but they can get over that. And the tunes are as good as the Stones...
...Reds' recoilless rifles slammed round after round through the camp's longhouses. The 2,300-odd montagnard women and children living at Plei Me disappeared underground for a week-long hibernation.

Now they listened silently as Ian Smith, in the flat, nasal accent of the settler, read from the eve-of battle speech of Henry V: "That he which hath no stomach to this fight, let him depart. He today that sheds his blood with me, shall be my brother...
...Terror. That there was no full-scale fighting was due largely to U.S. Ambassador Ellsworth T. Bunker, the tall, white-haired OAS negotiator and chief architect of the tenuous Dominican truce. In an eleventh-hour session at the National Palace, Bunker strongly reminded Garcia-Godoy that alienating the military was hardly the way to run a government of reconciliation. He got the President, and later Rivera Caminero, to agree on the pacification of Santo Domingo through a house-to-house arms search by military, police and civilian teams. Garcia-Godoy then ordered OAS troops into the rebel area to make...
