...Democratic primary runoff in Atlanta earlier this month, John Lewis was the clear underdog. But in the midst of a debate with the front runner, Julian Bond, Lewis challenged his opponent to on-the-spot urinalysis. "We can go outside and go to the men's room and take the test right now," said he. Bond refused, as he had before, saying, "I think true leadership is to resist this demagoguery, this McCarthyism." Lewis won a narrow upset, and doubts about Bond's commitment to the antidrug crusade may have been a small factor...
...vaguely familiar: voting in a bloc, a racial minority upsets a smooth-talking, politically connected shoo-in. This time, though, both candidates were black and the minority vote was white. The well-connected loser in the Democratic primary runoff in Atlanta's Fifth Congressional District was State Senator Julian Bond, a founder of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee.

The two men will now meet head on in a three-week campaign that promises to be rougher than the first round...
Budgeted at $3 million and cast largely with Americans, the Seattle Ring is not in the vocal class of Bayreuth, the Met or San Francisco. Yet Sooter gives a strong, noble account of himself, as does Baritone Julian Patrick as a robust, crafty Alberich. Soprano Johanna Meier makes a touching, feminine Sieglinde and Tenor Emile Belcourt a slick Loge. In the crucial role of Brunnhilde, Soprano Linda Kelm displays a huge voice and an enviable ease of vocal production, but she needs more refinement and a better stage presence before the part will belong to her.
