These artists have enjoyed long careers, and their voices still have the glow that sells out major opera houses. Other voices, once equally remarkable, do not retain their beauty, whether because of physical setbacks or misuse. Marilyn Horne, 57, has lost none of her taste or technique, but the nap is off that mezzo velvet. Hildegard Behrens, 54, an inspired dramatic actress, is now far easier to look at than listen to in the arduous roles she favors. A dozen years ago, handsome Peter Hofmann, 46, was a Wagnerian's dream of a heldentenor; today he mostly sings...

It was a bright spring Saturday, April 26, 1986. A townsman came in from sunning himself on a roof, exclaiming that he had never seen anything like it, he had turned brown in no time at all.

At the same time, such magazines as Workbench, Homeowner and 1001 Home Ideas are briskly building up their circulation. One of the hottest newcomers is Countryside, a Hearst glossy about the virtues of conservation, rural landscapes and life in the exurbs...
Many political analysts now think Major might call a general election in June before the glow of victory in the gulf is dimmed by Britain's recession. Inflation is coming down, and as price increases ebb, Major is reducing interest rates; last week's budget called for a further 2-point cut, to 13%. Businessmen, however, are unsure whether that is enough to produce an expected upswing by fall.
