...Question of Heresy. The walkout at Ljubljana marked the worst crisis in relations between Russia and Yugoslavia since Khrushchev's crow-eating visit to Belgrade in 1955 to apologize for Stalin's 1948 expulsion of Yugoslavia from "the camp of Socialism." This time Khrushchev himself was wroth, because the draft program which Tito and his colleagues prepared for their party congress blamed...
Striking CBS TV and radio technicians, whose walkout led to a rash of bloopers perpetrated by their amateur replacements (TIME, April 21), voted at week's end to go back to work at cameras, mike booms, control panels. Some 1,300 members of the A.F.L.-C.I.O. International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers won an 8.8% pay hike in two step-ups (to a base wage of $190 a week next year), plus an assurance from CBS that video tape-the instant TV recording medium feared by the union as a major job threat-will be handled for the network only...

Forgotten was Callas' walkout from the Rome Opera last month (TIME, Jan. 13) when she lost her voice during a performance of Norma. At the final curtain she took ten solo bows. The true measure of how totally Callas dominated last week's Traviata was the credibility she brought to the younger Dumas' tears-and-champagne tale of the consumptive courtesan-with scant help from a minor-league cast. As Alfredo, Tenor Daniele Barioni sang powerfully but uncertainly and sometimes off-key, acted in an emotional monotone that made his rages indistinguishable from his passions...
