...Eastern Europe's post-Stalin era of liberalization. Only a few months ago, he severely warned the country's intellectuals that he would never tolerate "the spread of liberalism" or any other contaminating Western ideology. In turn, Czechoslovakia never really adjusted to Novotný. Recently, an increasingly vocal opposition to his hardlining ways percolated right up to the innermost circles of the Communist Party. Last month the ruling Presidium voted 8-2 to fire Novotný as party chief, and only a hasty trip to Prague by Soviet Party Boss Leonid Brezhnev saved his skin...
Though most Ghanaians praise Ankrah, many of them are chafing for a return to party politics and parliamentary rule, a particularly natural wish in a country that is rich in vocal professionals. Sensing that such a return may be imminent, some politicians have exploited the emotional letdown from the years when Nkrumah promised Ghana the leadership of all of Africa. They have charged Ankrah with turning the country into a provincial, beggar nation, made such an issue out of an agreement that gave Abbott Laboratories of Illinois control of the state pharmaceutical corporation that Abbott decided last month to leave...
Like Bob Dylan, Arlo owes some of his direct, throbbing guitar and vocal style to the late Woody Guthrie, which is not surprising in this case, since Arlo, 20, is the older of Woody's two sons.

...Musi-ca's usual holiday fare. Every year- including this one-it climaxes its eleven-month season by presenting church performances of two 12th cen-tury music dramas, The Play of Daniel and The Play of Herod. Staged and costumed in period style, these productions unfold in vocal chants and instrumental passages of austere elegance and moving simplicity. White, 43, a musicologist and harpsichordist who took over the Pro Musica after Founder Noah Greenberg died in 1966, has no intention of abandoning such efforts. In fact he plans more: the group will soon start rehearsals for a production...
N.Y.U., playing its first home match of the season before a vocal crowd of 200, fenced all nine matches in the first round without a loss. Bob Barnard began to ease the embarrassment of the second round with a 5-3 victory over N.Y.U.'s number two saber. Harvard won three of the next five saber bouts, confirming the trend of the season's first four matches which indicated greater strength in saber than epee or foil...
