Guilty as he might be, Tabakchali had nonetheless won the sympathy of the whole Arab world. Throughout his trial, Egypt's Kassem-hating press and radio had hailed him and his fellow defendants as martyrs. In a more practical effort to help, Nasser's intelligence network fortnight ago bloodily disposed of a double agent who had been scheduled to testify against Tabakchali (TIME, Sept. 21). And in Iraq itself, Tabakchali's dignified conduct during the trial had won him an outspoken following, inspired for the first time unabashed criticism of Kassem in Baghdad...
Harking back nostalgically to the good old days when party activists worked seven days a week and scarcely found time to eat or sleep, the provincial paper Gazeta Robotnicza blamed the Ziebice fiasco on the fact that Ziebice's Communists were unwilling to accept responsibility. "We might as well say why," mused the paper unhappily. "A number of our activists have come to like the petty-bourgeois way of life. They want nothing else but to be left in peace...
...might have been the Winter Garden in 1935. The girls drifted languidly down an outsized ramp while the music came pumping out of the pit like an echo from a Ziegfeld revue.

...audience might well have frightened any composer out of his augmented triads: it consisted of 600 moppets between five and twelve. Children, so the theory goes, are the ideal connoisseurs of modern music, because they have no built-in esthetic prejudices, and last week Venice's prestigious International Festival of Contemporary Music paused in the midst of its strenuously avant-garde schedule to put the theory to the test. In the baroque Fenice Theater, the kids saw nine one-act Games and Fables for Children, composed on commission by a group of noted moderns...
Rabbi Hertzberg realizes that peaceful theological coexistence with the Jews-advocated by leading Christian theologians, including Reinhold Niebuhr and Paul Tillich-would be something of a revolution for traditionally proselytizing Christianity, but he thinks that practice in coexistence might be valuable. "Today," he says, "Christianity is the religion of the West and primarily of whites." But Eastern religions, once passive, are showing renewed vitality and missionary zeal. "A revived Christian evangelism reasserting its 'Great Commission' to convert, and hence to dissolve, all other faiths, will not only embarrass America before the world; it will undercut our foreign policy...
