...mother Shirley. Alone in the living room, Beverly sings the despairing recitative, Where Has It Got Me?, and tells how she performed 63 Micaelas in 63 one-night stands of Carmen, and 54 Violettas in 63 nights of La Traviata. A messenger enters, bearing an offer from the Frankfurt Opera to star in La Traviata, Faust and Carmen for $125 a week. Over whelmed, Beverly sings the beguiling aria, To Frankfurt Will I Wander...
...Time, a year later; place, the stage of Manhattan's City Center. Beverly is about to perform her ninth audition for the New York City Opera. While waiting, she regales her colleagues with the bittersweet aria, I Only Lasted One Day in Frankfurt, and explains that because she found it a gloomy, unfriendly place, she returned to New York without having stepped foot on the Frankfurt stage. The audition now begins. Beverly walks to the front of the stage and sings Sempre Libera from La Traviata. Applause is heard from the pit, and it is obvious that...

From the presses within has come in recent years an irregular, handset journal, Grani (Facets), containing some of the major finds of contemporary Soviet letters.

But they keep at it just the same, and last week was no exception. At Frankfurt University, 200 members of the Socialist German Students' League barricaded university entrances, surrounded buildings with a tough, red-helmeted picket line and battled anyone who tried to enter classrooms. At Bonn University, 1,000 students boycotted lectures. At more than a dozen other West German universities and colleges, thousands more staged teach-ins and protest marches...
North Rhine-Westphalia have voted to drop such ornate titles as Herr Landgerichtsdireklor (state court director) and be called simply Herr Richter (Mister Judge). Contending that many business titles are nonsensical, the U.S. electronics firm of Honeywell, which has a plant near Frankfurt, printed new calling cards introducing their executives by name only. Many student demonstrators now disdain to address university rectors as Magnifizenz and deans as Spektabilitat, Hans-George Schnitzer, whose own title is Bundesvorsitzender des Fachausschusses fur Umgangsformen-federal chairman of the Expert Committee for Good Behavior-is urging his countrymen to "recognize only those titles earned academically...
