...Giaccomo Fosse, 32, arrived in Boston from Italy on a 30-day visa and stayed on when he could not get it extended. One Sunday after Mass, he paid $1,000 to a priest who promised to help him. Two weeks later the priest had disappeared and Fosse was arrested and deported to Italy. Undeterred, he went to Germany, obtained another 30-day visa to the U.S. and returned to Boston.

...50th birthday present to himself and "to give something back to my music," Cellist Mstislav Rostropovich is giving a dozen free concerts round the world.

...This week Bob Hope will zing his one-liners in the hotel's vast Renaissance Ballroom at a $300-per-couple dinner to benefit the Detroit Symphony. One guest will be Elio Gabbuggiani, mayor of Detroit's "sister city" of Florence, Italy, who was initially refused a visa by U.S. authorities because he is a Communist. With the mayor comes a loan of the priceless bronze Boy with a Dolphin by Renaissance Sculptor Andrea del Verrocchio. The Detroiters had thought that they had the loan of Donatello's David locked up-a sure-fire draw...
