...almost mellow classic. Julius Rudel, director of Manhattan's enterprising New York City Opera, receives and reads 50 new opera scores a year. All kinds of opera will still be written, even in an age which seems to many sadly unoperatic-perhaps about Marilyn Monroe, or about Cassius Clay, or the astronauts, or even James Bond. Before he died, Puccini made a prophesy to a friend: "Go to America-the future of opera lies there." The prophesy has not yet come true, but it may-certainly if it is up to the "madmen" who are the lovers of opera...
...cover was a great shock and disappointment to me. It seems a pity that such a great person as the Pope should be pictured as a cracked piece of clay...
Four in the Fudge. Heavy rain fell all night before the race, and by post time the clay track was the consistency of soft fudge.

That is exactly what happened to Noble Victory: twice in the three-heat race, he broke stride; in the third heat, the best he could do was third...

As General Lucius Clay, now the G.O.P.'s biggest national fund raiser, said: "We didn't talk about our involvement in Viet Nam when we should have. We cannot right...

If it's near the plate, I swing at it." Technically, he does almost everything wrong: he stands at the very back of the batter's box (where it is practically impossible to reach pitches before they break), has a hitch in his swing, hits...
