Updike's entry consisted of seven pieces of light verse. The longest of these, entitled "Reverie," was "a Miltonic treatment of television advertisement," Updike explained.

Boulevard Solitude, a muchdiscussed, three-year-old opera by a 27-year-old German named Hans Werner Henze, went against the grain that night and drew a record outburst...
