Best measure of able Premier Kishi's growing strength lay in the confusion displayed by Japan's opposition Socialist Party, which flirts with Communism, seeks to promote Japanese ties with Red China, and hotly opposes Kishi's efforts to refurbish Japan's mutual defense pact with the U.S. Buffeted by three crushing local and national election defeats in the past 16 months, the Socialists gathered last week under huge red flags in Tokyo's Nine Steps Hall, to debate the reasons for their fading popularity and to patch up party squabbles. But after five days...
...deal came too late to refurbish the shabby hotel for this season, but Navarrete brought in Topflight Instructor Peter Estin and his ski-school teachers from Vermont's Sugarbush, got Panagra airline (50% Grace-owned) to set a ski-excursion round-trip fare of $420 (regular rate: $678) from Miami, and arranged an inexpensive ($2.50 a day) equipment-rental service in Santiago. Throwing up partitions at Portillo, he figures to expand capacity to 500, with $150,000 worth of ski lifts to haul them all. Even before remodeling and expansion, news of the new Portillo passed around so fast...
...refurbish the perennially popular double bill of Cavalleria Rusticana and Pagliacci, the Met's Rudolf Bing got lavish, handsome but unimaginative new sets from the hands of Scene Designer Rolf Gerard, hired a top Broadway director, Jose (Long Day's Journey into Night) Quintero.

Nevertheless, particularly in Pagliacci, he added some truly exciting touches: Nedda, starting her first-act aria reclining voluptuously...
...percentage of the parts to these arrangements was ruined. By great good fortune most of the scores and some of the masters, which are the first parts taken from the scores and duplicated therefrom, were saved. This means that the creative efforts are still there and we can eventually refurbish our material--however it will take time and quite a bit of money. Of course, as time goes on there will be other pieces of creative arranging done for the Band. It must always be borne in mind, however, that the Band is an extracurricular activity in the same classification...
Speed Replaces Depth. Though often short on facts, the U.P. historically has compensated with brighter writing; its crisp, concise style has forced the A.P. in recent years to valiant efforts to refurbish its often stodgy copy. Style has become increasingly important as the technical speedup in communications sytems has all but eliminated the old-fashioned beat. At the same time, speed has increasingly displaced depth or even accuracy, as writing and checking time dwindle. The A.P., with more manpower, is widely accepted by editors as more accurate than the U.P. Day by day the A.P. also files more interpretive background...
