...Such brash behavior provided much-needed levity for most students during an otherwise grim time of year. But in the past several years, Mr. Test's antics seemed to become more annoying than before. Things almost got out of hand last spring when he allegedly made a mistake about the length of an exam and seized a paper from an astonished student, who later threatened to sue him. It is more than a little ironic that Mr. Test lost his job after years of following a set exam format when he refused to switch to a new two-person system...

French Theater Director Patrice Chéreau's complete The Ring of the Nibelung (starting Jan. 17 on PBS with a documentary and continuing a week later with Das Rheingold) is a brash, iconoclastic view that sets the four-opera cycle in the mid-19th century, when Wagner wrote it. The videotaped Bayreuth Ring succeeds triumphantly, while Parsifal a spectacular failure...
