...opera The Taming of the Shrew. Composed in 1953, it proved to be one of the finest operas yet written by a native American. The libretto uses only words from Shakespeare: the text of Shrew, a speech from Romeo and Juliet, and some lines from the Sonnets. Unlike the Cole Porter musical comedy version of the play, Kiss Me, Kate, Giannini has given equal weight to the two pairs of lovers in the original tale--Katherina and Petruchio, Bianca and Lucentio. The result is a highly dramatic and serviceable opera libretto...

Reason for the honor in absentia: Tunesmith Porter, injured badly in a 1937 spill from a horse...
...Immoral." Bikinis, to hear the designers tell it, are favorably regarded only by the well-shaped women who buy them. "Most manufacturers do not like Bikinis," admits Rose Marie Reid, one of the most popular of U.S. swimsuit stylists. "They are vulgar, hideous, immoral." Fred Cole of Cole of California agrees.
