Why is it that the United Nations has never managed to focus as much popular attention or get the same popular support in Europe as the old Geneva League? Why does no one talk about 'the New York spirit'? Max Beloff, Fellow of Nuffield College, Oxford, considers such questions in the context of Dr. A. Loveday's recently published Reflections on International Administration.

Characters in order of speaking:
The Dream of the Red Chamber, the first Chinese novel, provides a vivid picture of aristocratic life during the flowering period of the eighteenth century, in the foreground of which unfolds the love story of Pao-Yu and Black Jade.
In writing the music the composer has made use of the Chinese five-note scale, using unusual combinations of woodwind and percussion to suggest features characteristic of oriental music.
