...from Il Trovatore (Tap). This album, as its cover proudly proclaims, presents one aria rendered by 40 tenors, containing 80 high Cs. As written by Verdi, Di quella pira ("From that pyre"), from the third act of Il Trovatore, had not a single high C in it, but Tenor Enrico Tamberlik (1820-89) started inserting one in the middle and one at the end-and they have been there ever since. The 40 tenors sing in six languages, and generally bleat, screech, bawl and scream in a manner calculated to make any listener sympathize with Rossini's request that...
Planned Parenthood. Although he is a registered Democrat, Seaborg has been politically passive, served both Harry Truman and Dwight Eisenhower as an adviser. In 1959 the AEC gave him the $50,000 Enrico Fermi Award-the highest honor the Government can bestow on an atomic scientist. Last January, four days before he took office as President, John Kennedy appointed Seaborg chairman of the AEC-the highest federal administrative post a U.S. scientist has ever attained...

They pay 40% royalties to the sheiks, and they take 40% profit. That is excessive...
...Mattei has yet to make a major oil find himself, although E.N.I, has spent millions exploring in nine lands. Instead, searching for cheap oil to market in Europe, he has found a cut-rate supplier that does not share its profits with sheiks or stockholders-Russia. Enrico Mattei is the biggest European buyer and distributor of Russian oil, selling it to countries which, though they limit their own direct importation of Soviet oil, feel no compunction about buying it through Italy...
Last week Enrico Mattei proudly listed his accomplishments: "We're building seven refineries in Morocco, Tunisia, Ghana, Poland, Sicily, the Po Valley and Switzerland. We're building our own offshore drilling rigs. One is already in the Red Sea, two in the Persian Gulf, one will start soon in a gas field in the Adriatic. Just yesterday I returned from Rumania, where I sold $5,000,000 worth of equipment...
