...with the V.O.A. back in 1976, two months before she shared first place in the prestigious Metropolitan Opera national auditions. Her lustrous soprano voice handles high notes with authority, and her acting is good enough for Broadway. She manages to crystallize certain moments: a softened look at James (Jake Gardner) even as they feud; a coquettish triumph as queen of her ball...
...Gardner Auditorium in Boston filled up slowly Thursday morning. The Joint Judiciary Committee had not vigorously publicized its public session on Bill H4632. Reporters and cameras and microphones and pages and staff aides were around, but relatively few citizens entered the hallowed halls of state government. Towards noon, when the Massachussetts governor and the attorney general, and various legislators had testified and the T.V. lights had begun to dim with the 6 o'clock news footage already shot, the citizenry emerged.

...verdict was thumbs down. Henry Kissinger did not like the portrait painted by Boston Artist Gardner Cox. One viewer thought it made him look "somewhat a dwarf," and another pronounced it "a rogues' gallery thing."

While at the Science Museum, stay for evening shows in the Hayden Planetarium of a laser musical, Lovelight, and what is billed as a laser light spectacular. These will be showing all week; call the museum for times...
...only thing standing in the way of further development of video at Harvard is, of course, money. Gardner says he sees no new economic dawn on the horizon. Guzzetti says his only hope is that the economy will change and Harvard will come up with more money for video. Gardner estimates $50,000 per year of University money would cover the costs of offering a more extensive video program. One possibility would be to follow the example of many European colleges and hook up with a TV station for expanded opportunities. Another possibility would be to apply for a grant...
