...cloudless day last week, General René Cogny, commander of North Viet Nam, flew to the troubled southern zone of the Red River Delta. At Namdinh, 45 miles southeast of Hanoi, with evident pleasure, he presented a unit citation to the elite 2nd Amphibious Group, 1st Foreign Legion Cavalry Regiment; he tied the traditional fanon, an Arabian horse's tail, to the regimental colors.

A bright, attractive score written by Mendelssohn when he was only 15, and unperformed for more than a century. Pianist Frugoni, who tilted with a stubborn Soviet-zone librarian in Germany to bring the long-forgotten music to light (TIME, July 16, 1951), plays his part with high spirits...
