Koppel, for his part, behaved like a circus ringmaster determined to wring every ounce of ersatz drama out of the confrontation in the lion's cage. He pointedly delayed asking the predictable Donna Rice questions. It was all for naught: the answers were unrevealing. Hart persisted in describing Rice as "this attractive lady whom I had only recently been introduced...
...Harvard Alumni Association, Koivumaki oversaw all aspects of alumni services not connected with fundraising. His move to the Law School coincides with the integration of the Reunions Program, previously a separate operation, into the Law School's alumni association.

Bass Samuel Ramey was a swaggering antihero, cocky till the end, and Soprano Julia Varady brought a sweet pathos to the obsessive Donna Elvira. Director Michael Hampe's staging was conventional until the climax. When the Commendatore dragged the unrepentant Don to perdition, the Iberian setting vanished to reveal a cosmic firmament, quenching the earthly fires of lust in a metaphysical supernova of destruction. The normally bubbly postlude took place on a desolate...
