...opera scores, as last week's Jackson performances demonstrated, are tautly constructed, neatly professional jobs, full of garish dramatic effects. The Soldier, based on a story by Roald Dahl, is a moody study of a World War II veteran who returns home psychologically scarred, suspects his wife of trying to drive him insane, and eventually winds up in a mental institution. To this curdled tale Composer Engel fitted a score shot through with warm lyrical flights that died suddenly in derisively dissonant evocations of the chaos in the soldier's mind.

Madara finished second against Williams...

At Frobisher Bay on Baffin Island last week, the owner of a beat-up DC-3 propositioned him to ferry the plane with two passengers to the mainland. The aircraft had no operational radio equipment, but it was flyable-and bush pilots earn their extra dollars by taking risks. Dahl took the job and was only minutes away from his destination when the old bucket gave up the battle and went down...
