Since the grain deal is tricky politics at best, the Kennedy Administration is doing its best to make it appear no giveaway. Anxious to see the deal go through, U.S. shippers have agreed to trim their prices to within a few dollars of foreign rates.

And when Menotti presented a huge opera bouffe, it was banished to the cramped Comique on the ground that it was too frivolous for France's official opera house. Menotti did his best to trim and squeeze his long work, but it came out looking starved instead. Paris was rightfully unimpressed ("Distressing, extremely poor, bordering on indigence," wrote Le Figaro), but The Last Savage will have another go at civilization in January. The Metropolitan Opera will present its New York premiere in the grand manner...
