...foot-high ideographs of pure vitriol, that shrill challenge was published last week over the name of Mao Tse-tung, the Red Emperor of China. The world indeed wiped its eyes in astonishment as Mao's Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, aimed at "purifying" Chinese Communism, erupted into strife and stridency so bitter that it produced widespread chaos and verged on civil war. The revolution that for 18 years has enchained China's 750 million people to Communism openly degenerated into a personal power struggle virtually unprecedented in history in its scope and stakes.

Ideal Solution. The Belgian government stayed out of the affair, fearing that racial strife could break out and endanger the 45,000 Belgians in the Congo. The ideal solution to the impasse would be an agreement by Union Minière that the nationalization was the legitimate action of an independent nation, and by the Congo that compensation is a part of any legitimate nationalization.

The first movement was rushed, and the slow movement was uncomfortably splattered with bad intonation and overlooked sharps and flats in the strings. In the minuet the strings were not together with the winds, and were themselves in internal rhythmic strife. The finale was more compelling, especially near the end. When the players were in tune and together, the orchestra, though small, made a big, rich sound. The winds were generally dependable, although the horns occasionally faltered and the oboes battled as to which of them would play more...
