...When Baudouin's plane touched down at Brussels' Melsbroek airport, he descended smiling to embrace his father, kiss his grandmother, shake hands with his handsome younger (25) brother Prince Albert, whose proposed marriage to Princess Paola Ruffo di Calabria at the Vatican had set off an anticlerical uproar in Belgium (TIME, June 8). Normally. Baudouin would have gone directly from the airport to his Laeken palace, bypassing busy Brussels, with its snarled, honking traffic. Instead, riding in an open limousine, the King made a 15-mile tour of his capital city, where hundreds of police and a battalion...

The company's triumphant London visit three years ago (TIME, Oct. 15, 1956) marked its first appearance on a Western stage. Last week, amid box office uproar (see SHOW BUSINESS), Impresario Sol Hurok finally welcomed the Bolshoi to Manhattan for the start of a nine-week cross-continent tour. The long-awaited look was not a disappointment. But, as with many such wonders, the anticipation was somewhat more exciting than the actuality. In the initial performances at least...
