THE COVER. Put That Old Gang of Mine in the same room with a piano and a pretty girl to play it, and soon The Music Goes 'Round and 'Round. But regard the intrusion of an aspiring Isolde just as the harmony reaches a peak of perfection. She lustily contributes so many decibels that even deaf Beethoven winces at the vibrations. Stormy Weather begins to blow. Our overgrown Alice Blue Gown obviously enjoys belting out a soprano supplement to Sweet Adeline (molto espressivo), although in a style more Wagnerian than barbershop. On the other hand, the disgruntled quartet clearly wishes she would sing "Show Me the Way to Go Home" or get On a Slow Boat to China. Then they could go back to "Ain't We Got Fun?" (con brio).

THE BERLIN CRISIS: KHRUSHCHEV'S WEAKNESS. Since mid-October Post editor Stewart Alsop has been traveling in Europe to gather material for a series of exclusive reports on the Berlin crisis, its significance in the struggle between Communism and the free world, and the way the West should handle it. From Berlin Alsop flew to Warsaw and then went by automobile to Moscow, where he covered the recent Party Congress. In this article (page 13) he deals with the meaning of the Wall ... twenty-five miles of concrete dividing Berlin, whose west- ern sector is 'a bone in Khrushchev's throat." Next week Alsop will report on Khrushchev's strength ... the "new Soviet man." A third article will evaluate the West's strengths and weaknesses.
LET'S PUT WOMEN IN THEIR PLACE. From George Sumner Albee comes a protest against a uniquely American custom. Women, he says, should not be allowed to enter into men's conversations ... unless they have been trained by their husbands in the art of talking logically and to the point. Mrs. Albee, her husband tells us, has been successfully trained, as certainly appears to be the case, judging from the evidence in the picture at right of the Albees enjoying each other's conversation. Although author Albee has written twelve short stories for us, this week's "Speaking Out" is his first article in The Post (page 8).
CLEDWYN HUGHES, whose first Post story appears in this issue, lives with his wife, young daughter Nandi and assorted domestic animals in a blue-and-white farmhouse in the English countryside, where he raises peaches, figs, exotic plants and energetic frogs ... the last to keep slugs off the former. Apart from the frogs, there is also a large snow-white cat who adores ice cream and chilled food, and a dirty-white pony who will walk a mile to get his favorite diet of roses in high bloom. At any moment, Mr. Hughes writes us, he expects 'hIs small daughter to develop a taste for pate' de foie gras, truffles and caviar. Author Hughes's touching story is about a little girl who is the best Maypole dancer in her village and who lives in a black-and-white farmhouse in the English countryside (HOW CAN WE TELL THE DANCER FROM THE DANCE? page 26).
ALSO: Mix a specialist in international affairs, a student of philosophy and a Ph.D. in musicology with one banjo, one guitar and one bass fiddle. Result: that fast-rising trio of folk singers, the Limeliters (Egg heads With a Big Beat, page 32). An eminent astronomer explains the newest theories about how our solar system's planets were created (Adventures of the Mind: The Birth of Worlds, page 54). Laurance Rockefeller: merchant of nature, crusading to provide more national parks for Americans (His Millions for the Big Outdoors, page 79).
