American listeners have a chance to feast their ears on their native brand of electronic composition on the sound track of MGM's science-fiction extravaganza, Forbidden Planet (TIME, April 9). Composed and recorded by Manhattan's husband-and-wife team, Louis and Bebe Barron, it could hardly sound more appropriate. Its basic elements are a kind of trickling-water sound; a zipping effect, as if somebody were running his thumbnail along a comb; a high, ominous thrumming, something like the sound telegraph wires make when the pole is struck; a frightful, featureless roaring; and an effect that...
...crowded streets and candle-gleaming churches of Chicago and New York City, the Feast of St. John the Baptist was celebrated in high style last week. There were heaps of lechón asado (roast pig) and pasteles (meat cakes wrapped in plantain leaves). Blindfolded children laughingly broke piñatas, whacking away with sticks at the hanging earthenware pots that might contain candy or water; music vibrated whole city blocks, and there were dozens of mambo, cha-cha and rumba contests.

...around Don Camillo, the faithless ones who had voted for the party of atheism were busy with preparations for the season's No. 1 feast, the celebration of Corpus Christi.

A carload of fresh lobsters was shipped in from the Bosporus, and 1,200 lambs were slaughtered for a huge kebab feast. Pointedly, the 66 Deputies of the opposition parties boycotted the ceremonies, and Menderes seized the occasion to belabor his critics. "It is as sad as it is ridiculous," he cried, "that the so-called opposition members . . . are going to every inch of the country for the purpose of causing trouble...
TOURING the past five months nearly 300,000 visitors have -' tramped through East Berlin's dark, rundown National Gallery to feast their eyes on the cream of one of the world's great art collections: 536 key paintings from Dresden's state art museum, the Gemalde-Galerie (see color pages). Next week the collection will finally come down off the walls to be packed up and shipped back to Dresden for the city's 750th anniversary. There, on June 4, the paintings will at last resume their place in the partially restored art gallery from...
