...than any other general manager except Giulio Gatti-Casazza (1908-35). But if charm counts for anything, and it certainly does among the matrons and patrons of the Met, Gentele should be able to match Rudi Bing and endure for quite a while himself. He is a man of slender elegance with a graceful manner and clear, purposeful blue eyes. His wife Marit, a trim, Nordic-blonde who could have stepped out of a Bergman movie, is fond of pointing out that Goran has a master's degree in political science. He may need it. A hail fellow does...
...Master of Mary of Burgundy, A Book of Hours. Edited by J.J.G. Alexander. Unpaged. Braziller. $25. Like the slender archways in the works of early Flemish masters, this tiny, devotional book opens on small worlds of piety and delight. It is a facsimile re-creation of a Book of Hours made, circa 1478, for the daughter of the last great Duke of Burgundy by a master miniaturist. His biblical figures, mock tourneys, glimpsed landscapes and rich borders decked with acanthus rolls, peacock feathers, shells and fabulous birds and beasts brilliantly profit from the example of the Limbourg brothers...

Sir Alec Guinness materializes from time to time as the ghost of Scrooge's old partner Marley, but he plays the part floating several inches off the floor and flapping his wrists, an interpretation better suited to The Boys in the Band...

The Governor's public display of pique gave currency to the view that for the first time, Rockefeller clearly hears Goldberg's footsteps. Last week Rockefeller produced his own poll, showing him with a slender 2% lead...
...congressional action had seemed assured for several weeks (TIME, Oct. 19). Following Allende's slender victory in the Sept. 4 elections, the Christian Democratic Party of retiring President Eduardo Frei agreed to support Allende unanimously in return for guarantees that Allende would preserve Chile's cherished democratic traditions. Then last week the runner-up right-wing candidate, former President (1958-1964) Jorge Alessandri, urged his congressional supporters not to oppose Allende. Alessandri's gesture was gracious but hardly affected the outcome. In the traditional secret ballot, the 195 Senators and Deputies present supported Allende over Alessandri...
