Roosevelt, on the strength of that formidable name and familiar grin, is striving to resurrect a once promising political career. After three terms in Congress, he lost a bid for the gubernatorial nomination in 1954, settled for the attorney general's candidacy, and went down to defeat while the rest of the Democratic ticket was elected. He fell into relative obscurity in Washington, first as an automobile dealer, then as Under Secretary of Commerce, and finally as chairman of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, from which he resigned last week...
...next article on the Presiden't plan, Harris L. Hartz tries to resurrect the four-year term. He proposes that "Congressional districts should be doubled in size by joining adjacent districts in the same state. Each district should then have two representatives one elected with the President, one in a off-year election."

Now, in opera's relentless campaign to resurrect the least-known works of the best-known composers, some of Verdi's early operas are being given a fresh hearing-with unpredictable results. Gianna d'Arco (1845), performed this month by Manhattan's American Opera Society, was a thundering flop. But Attila (1846), as staged last week by the enterprising opera company of Graz, Austria...
