...subject of Soviet politics Mrs. Titova grew more vocal. When asked how Russians had reacted to Khrushchev's recent performance in the U.N. she became quite animate. "The great majority of the people approved of what he said in his speech. He is almost always able to express the essence of what Russians feel on a particular issue. He speaks very well for us. As for the hitting (Mrs. Titova tapped her fist on the arm of her chair in delicate imitation of Chairman Khrushchev) that is not the important thing.

...York Philharmonic through a performance of Lukas Foss's Time Cycle for Soprano and Orchestra, an atonal work based on poems by Auden, Housman, Kafka and Nietzsche, all of them having to do with the flow of time, clocks or bells.

The Roman Catholic Church is stirring in opposition. The press has been silenced, but in the streets much vocal dissent is heard. Eco nomic problems have been postponed, not solved. And some kind of dissension is astir in the ranks of the leadership. Fidel...
...Right to Sing the Blues!-issued simultaneously with two other Farrell albums, a collection of Puccini arias and a recital featuring Schubert, Schumann, Debussy and Poulenc. Soprano Farrell was a jazz fan long before she became a serious singer-back in the days when she was getting vocal encouragement from her parents, who once toured the nation as "The Singing O'Farrells." In the '40s she used to sing the blues occasionally on radio shows, and at her Community Concert recitals she would precede a Gluck aria with Lover and Spring Is Here...
