In Carlisle Floyd's Susannah he sang Reverend Blitch, a man of God who fell through lust into destruction; his Mephistopheles in Gounod's Faust is demon masquerading as man; to round off his demonic repertory, New York City Opera General Director Julius Rudel is toying with the idea of producing Berlioz's The Damnation of Faust (in which Treigle would play yet another Mephistopheles) and Busoni's Doktor Faust (in which Treigle would switch roles and appear...

Louisiana's Democratic Representative George Long (Huey's brother) described foreign aid as "the greatest fraud since money became a medium of exchange." Georgia's Democratic Representative Iris Blitch won an ovation as she promised: "I will vote for every amendment to cut the amount of foreign aid, and then I will vote against the bill itself."
