Deceptive Preview. It was a special victory for Coach Paul Brown of the Browns, a cold, hard perfectionist who handles every game as if it were a strategic contest of coaches' brains. Although his crack passer and quarterback, Otto Graham, knows as much football as any player in the business, Brown minutely directs the strategy. He has won five straight eastern titles, but none of these was followed by a national championship...
...Soviet Union unloosed all the resources of its diplomacy and propaganda. For the benefit of the Bundestag, East German Puppet Premier Otto Grotewohl ordered "spontaneous" protest marches "to topple the Paris treaties." The Kremlin followed through with a flurry of diplomatic notes which fell like poisoned confetti on the capitals of Western Europe. Russia's Molotov warned the French government that ratification would "cross out and annul" the 1945 Franco-Soviet treaty of alliance. Britain was sternly advised that the presence of U.S. air bases in East Anglia is "incompatible" with the Anglo-Soviet treaty; six other NATO nations...

...Angeles Philharmonic, conducted by Alfred Wallenstein, also tried some electronic tricks. Its featured soloist was a black box-an Ampex tape recorder. The work, called Poem of Cycles and Bells, was composed by Manhattan Tape-sichordists Vladimir Ussachevsky and Otto Luening (TIME, Nov. 10, 1952). Described as "music trapped from beyond the range of the human ear," the solo part consisted of ordinary flute, piano and vocal sounds, recorded and then sometimes distorted beyond recognition by various mechanical and electronic means. The composition got notice as far away as Baltimore, where the Sun protested: "Down with Space Music . . . Give...
