For to be in on the metamorphosis of a provincial orchestra into the world's greatest (and some of us knew that this would happen with Szell at the helm) was as exciting an experience in prospect as joining a wagon train going to the Oregon country, or taking the Santa Fe Trail to the gold fields of California during the 1850s...
Chica da Silva herself is next, in $2,500 worth of red-and-white silk petticoats topped with a skirt embroidered with white feathers, lace, seed pearls and semiprecious stones. She wears a 3-ft. white wig, à la Marie Antoinette, and her satin train is 12 ft. long.

A fortnight ago, Bea's chief assistant. Dutch Monsignor Jan Willebrands, flew secretly to Moscow, escorted Slipyi by train to Vienna and then on to Rome. Slipyi had a personal audience with the Pope, has since been resting at the Byzantine-rite monastery of Grottaferrata. 15 miles southeast of Rome. He hopes eventually to return to Lvov...
