Before that happens, people who live along the existing 765-kv. lines feel that a few problems should be worked out. The main one is that the high-voltage alternating current sets up a powerful electromagnetic field that induces voltages and currents in any electrical conductor-generally metallic objects-within about 200 ft. of the lines. In addition, the field ionizes the air (ordinarily a good insulator) surrounding the lines, turning it into a fairly good conductor of electricity. That allows some of the current in the lines to leak off, creating a blue glow around the wires. This happens...
After showing an ABC press card, Rainie said, the ABC impersonator asked Coppersmith and conductor Thomas Everett to help the other four Brown students, who claimed to be Crimson reporters, load the drum into their truck...

...first full staging in a single evening that even approximated the composer's original intentions. (Berlioz broke it up into two shorter operas but could manage to get only one staged.) Covent Garden's second version, in 1969, produced among other things, the definitive Philips recording by Conductor Colin Davis.
