STRAUSS: FOUR LAST SONGS (Angel). On records, at least, Elisabeth Schwarzkopf is still one of the supreme vocal artists of the day. Here she gives a seamless performance, as if all four songs were drawn on one breath. Her performance may not quite measure up to Lisa Delia Casa's classic recording of a decade ago, which is an irresistible blend of youthfulness and melancholy; yet Schwarzkopf sounds as if she had lived the life now ending and better understands the tragic resignation...
...this it was mistaken. A vocal opponent of the discriminatory clause within the Milwaukee aerie, Judge Cannon, 49, argued that he could best change Eagle policy by remaining within the organization-and that he would not, in any event, yield to pressure. Said he: "I've got my Irish up now." Actually, a majority of judges in Milwaukee-17 out of 26-are members of the Eagles, which generally helps informally in their elections, and most look upon membership as a positive political advantage despite the obvious strains between a judge's duty to be impartial...

...white people are happy with Verwoerd's state of affairs. There is a vocal minority of racists even more extremist than he is, who accuse him of doing too much for the "bloody kaffirs." His regime is widely criticized, moreover, for its refusal to allow television in South Africa-a restriction in tended both to keep out foreign "liberalist" programs (such as I Spy) and to protect the Afrikaans language against the incursions of English (there are no packaged shows in Afrikaans). A recent opinion poll showed that two-thirds of all white South Africans want TV, but Minister...
...only vocal opposition comes from Helen Suzman, the pert, doughty Johannesburg housewife who is the Progressive Party's only member in Parliament. Apartheid is still attacked in the English-language press, which has somehow managed to maintain a tradition of obstinate opposition to the racist pattern, but the attacks are losing their sting. Their readers, impressed by Verwoerd's successful pacification of the country since the Sharpeville massacre of 1960, no longer want to read about the injustices of his methods...
