...dresses in Madonna-style bras, strips on stage and sings about justifying her love, but this songbird's debut album will never make MTV. Lesley Garrett, the English National Opera's untraditional lead soprano, presents a sumptuous assortment of operatic arias on DIVA! A SOPRANO AT THE MOVIES. Her finely colored voice with its firm vibrato is not elitist, and she sings this collection of songs that have made their way into films with a passion and abandon that would make Madonna envious. Garrett's plaintive Voi che sapete, from The Marriage of Figaro, and her flirtatious plotting in Quando...
Possibly even more embarrassing to the Navy was a videotape record of one of the Tailhook workshops that took place two hours earlier that same day, in which senior Navy brass -- including Chief of Naval Operations Frank Kelso and former Navy Secretary H.

After months of criticism, Navy Secretary H. Lawrence < Garrett III finally resigned, accepting "full responsibility" for management of the Tailhook incident...
...Garrett's announcement came two days after Navy Lieut. Paula Coughlin, a veteran helicopter pilot, publicly described her experience at the gathering. Coughlin came forward because she was frustrated by her superiors' foot- dragging response after they'd been told of the assault. Two internal Navy investigations and 1,500 interviews turned up only two suspected culprits. Not until two weeks ago did Garrett ask the Pentagon's inspector general to investigate the case...
