Against abstract sets resembling medieval stained glass, the Nervi dancers last week reeled off their figures in the feverish, exuberant style of such post-classical Massine creations as Fantasy at Grand Hotel. Predictably, the crowd-stoppers were the sexy numbers, so torrid that the Festival Committee had at first been threatened by the censor: an undulating dance by an all-but-nude ballerina waiting for the arrival of her lover; a passionate embrace in the course of which two lovers move across the stage in angular jetés. The best dancing was provided by young Italian Ballerina Carla Fracci...
...bollenti spiriti, sometimes the gravely dignified Germont, making his moving plea to Violetta-Pura sic-come un angelo. In the most fascinating section of all, the old man launches into Violetta's famed Sempre libera, sounding hoarse, wildly off key, but somehow convincing in the aria's feverish abandon...
Though the figures show that there are still plenty of jet passengers to go around, the tone of airline advertising gets more feverish. The Miami-bound vacationer can open his newspaper and be offered by three separate airlines: 1) "Most frequent service to Florida . . .

Strangely, his last whispered reference was to Mozart, a composer poles apart from...
This "dialytic parabiosis" lasted 90 minutes, was credited with helping to save the woman's life. (The sheep also recovered after a brief feverish illness.) Last week Dr. Pavone-Macaluso said that he wanted to try the technique again, but with a bigger donor animal-and hence a larger blood volume-to clear the patient's blood faster. In fact, he said, if he could figure out a way to get it into the operating room, he would like to use an elephant...
