...Verdi's journeyman days as Attila, The Corsair and Joan of Arc, in which the Maid dies not at the stake but on the battlefield. Later in the day, in one or another of the marble-and-crystal salons in Newport's stately mansions, the offerings included chamber and vocal music by operatic composers, excerpts from other unfamiliar 19th century operas (including the "other" La Boheme, composed by Ruggiero Leoncavallo only months after Puccini's), and a program of knuckle-breaking operatic paraphrases by Franz Liszt, played by Guest Pianist Raymond Lewenthal...
...have been taken by many observers as a series of ominous portents. Wolfgang's staging of Lohengrin last month, his first effort since his brother's death, departed markedly from Wieland's stylization and simplification and seemed to echo the old conservatism in stead. The bridal chamber was done up like a Moorish gazebo. Singers were allowed to return to the old style of explicit gesticulation and heavy underlining of points in the text...
...year-old Brooklyn woman had survived the first few critical hours after a severe heart attack and should have been on her way to recovery. But part of the muscle in the wall of her left ventricle, the heart's main pumping chamber, was too badly damaged to snap back spontaneously.

...inserted strong antiriot measures into the President's anti-crime bill before sending it on to the Senate. (Other changes would give the states nearly total control over how federal anti-crime grants would be spent, sharply curtailing the supervisory role of the Attorney General.) In the upper chamber, predicted Senate Minority Leader Everett Dirksen, the measure, which gives $75 million to local police in the first year, will be combined with the House-passed antiriot bill, which makes it a crime to cross state lines to foment riots. The result, promised Dirksen, "will be a humdinger...
