...immortals as Gluck, Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven and Schubert. Toward the end of the 19th century, Composer-Conductor Gustav Mahler ushered in another Golden Age of Viennese opera by stressing dramatic stagecraft as well as musical excellence in his productions. The years that followed were a time of great names (Enrico Caruso, Maria Jeritza, Lotte Lehmann, Bruno Walter and Arturo Toscanini) and spectacular gestures. Many Viennese still remember the flamboyant tenor Jan Kiepura, who after performances serenaded his fans from the roof of a taxicab outside the stage door...
Died. Marcello Boldrini, 79, Italian scholar-turned-executive who in 1962 succeeded the dynamic Enrico Mattei as president of Ente Nazionale Idrocarburi, Italy's worldwide, state-owned oil corporation; of a brain tumor; in Milan. A onetime professor of statistics, Boldrini joined ENI in 1948 as president of its distributing company, and was vice president of the sprawling complex by the time Mattei died in a plane crash; critics dismissed the 72-year-old statistician as an "interim pope," but in his five-year reign he proved to be as expansive and guileful as his predecessor, plunging ENI into...
...Enrico Berlinguer, 46. Longo's health is failing; a stroke victim, he can deliver long speeches only from a sitting position. The handsome, vigorous Berlin guer is therefore almost certain to take over the party's leadership well before the 1974 elections and play a large role in Italian political life for years to come...
There is practically no oil in Italy, yet the state-run E.N.I, monopoly became a world petroleum power under the late Enrico Mattei and his successor, Eugenio Cefis. Mattei bought crude from the Soviets, developed natural-gas resources in the Po Valley, and proudly declared that in building E.N.I., "I broke 8,000 laws." To sidestep Cyclopean bureaucrats-with their time-consuming rules about building permits and their endless paper work-he laid the pipelines at night, while the officials slept...
...Enrico Clementi, a theoretical chemist at IBM's San Jose research laboratory, was familiar with the mathematical descriptions of the actions of the electrons, nuclei, atoms and molecules that participate in a chemical reaction. He was certain that a solution of all the equations involved would give a mathematically precise picture of any chemical reaction. But how could he possibly manage the hundreds of billions of forbidding mathematical steps required for the solution? To an IBM man, the answer was obvious...
