...Moscow embassy held a meeting to condemn the "fascist atrocity." In Peking, Russia's embassy was soon surrounded by a nonstop demonstration of Chinese students and soldiers in an ugly mood. Premier Chou En-lai and Foreign Minister Chen Yi sent a cable promising the students a triumphant return to Peking. The Chinese Foreign Ministry, in an elaborate attack, said: "Since we dread neither heaven nor earth, neither devils nor gods, how can we possibly dread you, a few flies freezing to death in the whirling snow?" The Chinese made so much of the incident that many observers felt...
...changes that occurred in man's interpretation of his deity. At first, the Christian story appears as a happy parable. One early 9th century object produced by Charlemagne's workshop is an ivory plaque symbolic of its time (see opposite page). Christ is the central figure, triumphant despite his torment on the cross. The Second Coming, which some Christians had hoped would take place in the year 1000, appears as a future inevitability to the artist.

Conducting the Vienna Philharmonic, Georg Solti again heaps high all the sumptuous glories of the Wagnerian orchestra, at the same time charging every passage of Wotan's family fracas with drama. The lush and beautiful singing is alive with emotion, the stars being an international assemblage of accomplished artists: Birgit Nilsson as Briinnhilde, Regine Crespin as Sieglinde, Christa Ludwig as Fricka, and Hans Hotter as Wotan. Not quite so great...
Swaying under a marigold-and-white parachute, and clearly visible on millions of television screens, Gemini 12 splashed into the Sargasso Sea last week, bringing Astronauts James Lovell and Edwin Aldrin safely back from their successful four-day trip in space. The splashdown marked the triumphant end of NASA's remarkably fruitful Gemini program. Since March 1965, the Gemini astronauts have made ten manned flights, rendezvoused ten times with target vehicles, docked nine times, and set a host of other space records. They have also proved that man can fly as safely in spacecraft as in airplanes, and that...
