...focusing on the more extreme views of a few participants, you missed the workshops and working sessions, which offered valuable wisdom, training and hope. Your focus on the controversies gives a totally different impression than we had after a more balanced participation in the conference. Craig Van Tuinen, M.D. Carol Rooke Van Tuinen, R.N. Newton Corner, Mass...
That the Lyric Opera should take part in Rondine's restoration comes as no surprise. Founded in 1954, the company has always been a prime exponent of Italian opera in the U.S., a kind of La Scala West. Under Carol Fox, its late founder and general manager, Maria Callas made her American debut in a sizzling Norma, and the Lyric became home to such 1950s and '60s legends as Soprano Renata Tebaldi, Tenor Giuseppe di Stefano and Baritone Tito Gobbi.

Well, Disney did produce the film...
...high schoolers seek admission more avidly than to virtually any other U.S. college (ten applications for each 1985 enrollment). Senior David Margulius called the situation "bizarre, but somehow not surprising. Brown students are always doing offbeat, experimental things. And they are pretty uninhibited in a lot of ways." Freshman Carol Putsel, 18, was even more matter-of-fact: "Just because it's a college campus doesn't mean that it's free of social problems...
