...Country is a good play, and could be better. Despite its simplification, however, it may still be over the heads of the New York tourist trade. The reaction of people sitting around me was typically, "My God! What is he doing?" and I had the impression that Freud was as much on trial last night at the Wilbur as he ever was in his own time...
...Vienna State Opera in Aïda. Since that triumphant evening, Leontyne and Von Karajan have enjoyed a kind of mutual-admiration pact. After Vienna, the road went speedily upward. In 1960 she walked through the stage door of La Scala (she had vowed never to enter as a tourist) and made her debut, again in Aïda, without a single stage rehearsal. "After all," she says, "what's the problem? The Nile can only be upstage." The crowd shouted "Brava Leonessa!" Then, for the new opera house at the Salzburg Festival last summer, Von Karajan "had this...
Proponents of the bill cite the mutual understanding between nations that can be gained by an expanded exchange of tourists. But the immediate reason for stepping up the tourist inflow is the continued anxiety over the gold outflow. Last year the U.S.'s 2,000,000 tourists abroad spent $1,145,000,000 more than the 87,000 foreign visitors to the U.S., a "tourist gap" that accounted for nearly one-third of the U.S.'s total balance-of-payments deficit.

The State Department, however, stoutly maintains that without tight visa regulations, a flood of ineligible foreigners posing as tourists would enter the U.S. with every intention of staying; deportation proceedings against these people would be difficult, time consuming and costly (an estimated $3,000 per person...
...fresh publishing venture, Time Inc. is issuing armchair passports to this new U.S. breed of cosmopolite. The LIFE World Library (three books out, an indefinite number to come) is a series for the reader who has more than a tourist's interest in a foreign land but less than a specialist's. The volumes (available through subscription, not yet in book stores) are a long way from the usual non-books consisting of pasted-up magazine articles. While they use many pictures previously published in LIFE-as well as many new ones-the three volumes are written afresh...
