Handling her big, liquid soprano voice with faultless accuracy, Singer Price achieved an Aïda that was at once feline and tender, sweet and aggressive. She won bravas after her opening trio with Radames and Amneris (a place in the opera that has not drawn applause at La Scala in years), got many more ovations as she ranged effortlessly from finespun pianissimos to brilliantly ringing fortes. "Brava, Leonessa!" cried someone in the audience, while a second voice corrected: "She is more like a panther than a lioness." Said one critic: "Our great Verdi would have found her the ideal...

Teleknight? If he keeps it up, Richard Dimbleby may well become what many British show people hope he will be: the first knight of television. He has lent his faultless, icky-wicket comments to nearly every royal occasion since World War II, including the funeral of King George VI, the wedding and the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. A merry, good-tempered pro, he was the BBC's first war correspondent, even broadcast from a Royal Air Force bomber on a raid over Berlin. In 1945, he was arrested in Berlin by suspicious Russian soldiers, won his freedom...

The Nixon biography is the work of Bela Kornitzer, a Hungarian refugee who, according to the dust jacket, learned English by going to American movies. This is undoubtedly true. The book includes...

...dancing, though, is what matters, and it is magnificent. Maya Plisetskaya, the public favorite among Russia's younger ballerinas, dances the double role of Odette-Odile with a mixture of faultless precision, lyric grace and sheer animal power; Nicolai Fadeyechev as the Prince and Vladimir Levashev as the Evil Spirit are virile, commanding performers. On the other hand, the ballet itself is simply an arrant Arcadian anachronism, and Tchaikovsky's music, except for a few eddies of glorious melody, fills Swan Lake with sugar water. But along with all its faults, the picture provides U.S. ballet-goers...
