...bases on the island's south coast. One such dissident, an elderly, respected Nicosia lawyer named John Clerides, 73, presented his candidacy against Makarios. The situation was made to order for Cyprus' Communists. When Governor Sir Hugh Foot ended the four-year state of emergency last month, they emerged from underground, led by Ezekias ("Pappy") Papaioannou, 51, a Spanish Civil War veteran. Around him were Prague and Moscow-trained party activists, who already control the island's dock and farm unions. They volunteered their support of Right-Winger Clerides in order to work against Makarios...

It was also hinted that when the hit musical West Side Story is adapted for Soviet consumption, Bernstein's music for the show will be inaudible. Meanwhile, top Russian Composer Tikhon Khrennikov, who toured the U.S. last month (TIME, Nov. 23) with four other leading Soviet musicians, spoke out on his impressions of popular capitalist music.
