...offer her a grim choice: help us or follow him. The decision tears Helga in two, not because she fears execution, but because she must measure her narrow patriotism against her involvement in all mankind, her diminution by any man's death. "I always believed," a partisan chief (Bernhard Wicki) tells her, "that to a doctor, wounded enemies are also human beings." Placing humanity before country, Helga sets to work with all her strength. But her lifesaving chores bring her no sense of exaltation, no expiation, no liberty pass from the anguished no man's land that lies...
Mozart: La Finta Semplice (Dorothea Siedberg, Edith Oravez. George Maran, August Jaresch, Alois Pernerstorfer: the Camerata Academica of the Salzburg Mozarteum conducted by Bernhard Paumgartner; Epic, 2 LPs).

The royal disharmony manifest between Juliana and her consort, much-traveling Prince Bernhard, apparently focused on the Queen's now renounced ties with Faith Healer Greet Hofmans (TIME, June 25 et seq.). Said Juliana: "Why . . . do some people attack someone by devious means with false claims? Why . . . do they try to drive a wedge between a man and a woman in vain attempts to destroy a deeply rooted unity...
...palace crisis that has openly rocked The Netherlands and not too privately estranged Queen Juliana and her consort, Prince Bernhard, moved closer to resolution. Juliana accepted with overflowing gratitude "for services rendered" the resignations of her private secretary, Baron van Heeckeren van Molecaten, and his buddy, the Queen's chamberlain, Johann van Maasdick. Significance of the quittings: the baron's family first introduced the Queen to Faith Healer Greet Hofmans (TIME, June 25), whose metaphysical grip on Juliana led to the crisis...
