...libretto concerns a husband who becomes enamored of a swinging, unmarried friend of his wife's. Domesticity triumphs when the wife changes costumes, wigs and personalities to deflate the husband's romantic notions. Director Bliss Hebert wittily stages the action with an array of modish accouterments undreamed of by Schoenberg, including Visa cards and telephones with TV monitors; Maxine Willi Klein's sleek set looks like a sci-fi Better Homes and Gardens; and the cast, especially Soprano Mary Shearer as the wife, delivers a slyly spirited performance.

Edward Hebert, who was a New Orleans newspaper editor in 1939, finally confirmed last week, after Noe's death, that it was Noe who had leaked to him evidence of Leche's corruption. The scandal resulted in the resignations of Leche and other state officials...
...situation is much the same in the House. Arkansas' Wilbur Mills, who lost Ways and Means after his Tidal Basin antics, is retiring. In a virulent outbreak of democracy, freshmen in the House Democratic Caucus last year forced the ouster from chairmanships of Louisiana's F. Edward Hebert (Armed Services), and Texas' Wright Patman (Banking) and W.R. Poage (Agriculture). All were replaced by Northerners...
