...Clergy fear voicing their views on legislation if it means opening their books to investigation. OSE says it looks at only the portion of church finances dedicated to lobbying. But to distinguish that portion is impossible. Do we count the homily, the bulletin, the prayer group? State Representative Chris Caruso, an unsympathetic Catholic, chides the Church to “Give unto Caesar, what is Caesar’s.” But the Church’s everyday finances are none of Caesar’s business...
...enterprising young American persuaded a "short, fat and ugly" tenor to record 10 arias in a Milan hotel room for 100 pounds. The singer was Enrico Caruso, and the album, a huge hit, gave rise to the classical recording industry. In The Life and Death of Classical Music the smart, crusty, blustery critic Norman Lebrecht frog-marches readers, prestissimo, through the glory days of Toscanini and Glenn Gould to the bloated collapse of the early 2000s, brought on by inflated contracts, corporate mismanagement, mindless rerecordings of the warhorses and a welter of weak-minded classical-lite crossover acts.

Beginning the process early buys overworked college admissions workers a little extra time to provide "quality reads," he says...
...even a psycho with a hero complex. He's a sleazy guy in a slimy business - his specialty is divorce cases - who does mean things for fun. I still remember, from seeing the film 51 years ago, a scene where Hammer picks up a man's beloved old Caruso record and snaps it in two. (The same year I'd seen Blackboard Jungle, where the vicious high-school punks smash a teacher's Bix Beiderbecke records. So I knew Mike was a bad guy.) The music plays up his thug character as well. When Mike shows up in a doorway...
