...after several years with Nadia "a lot of people thought of the necessity of writing American works" that would be accessible and relevant to American audiences. Along these lines, a friend suggested that he write an opera based upon Ethan Frome--Edith Wharton's tragic account of forbidden love set in frigid Starkfield, Mass. Allanbrook wrote the opera in Naples in 1951 on the continuation of a Fulbright scholarship that allowed him to go to the opera at Santo Carlo every weekend. A friend he met at Harvard, John Hart '48 (who would later go on to be a successful...

And can the people over there hear you talking about private issues...
...Forbidden Love, the first-person account of the relationship between schoolteacher Mary Letourneau, now 36, and her "victim," Vili Fualaau, now 15, hit the bookstores in Paris last week. The book portrays a couple who, while fond of each other, had very different views on several issues, including the source of their attraction (She: "He is...a poet capable of lyricism, an artist full of spirit and talent"; He: "I was 12 years old and I had never f___ed anyone...
