Democrats Seiberling and Mann and Republican Wiggins ap peared close to tears. Almost all the "Ayes" were delivered in mournful, almost sepulchral tones. By contrast, the first "No" ? from Edward Hutchinson ? sounded buoyant and was accom panied by a thin smile...
Starker, whose reputation as an un sentimental musical intellect is as familiar as his flawless intonation, is almost buoyant with his new toy. Even the so bering milestone of a recent 50th birthday could not blight his joy.

The set, which might have been a collaboration between Rube Goldberg and the sculptor Jean Tinguely, turns in its own virtuoso performance. It throws down bridges between continents, cascades green streamers down to simulate jungle, and rocks like a storm-battered ship. Despite such assaults, the audience is treated with a kind of 18th century courtesy and just the right note of complicity. If there could be a lovelier Candide than this, it is difficult to imagine...
