...velvet, flowers and drawing-room furniture. Menotti was also convinced that "when an Isolde looks like a virago and Tristan looks like a Swedish masseur, the love scenes risk becoming grotesque, even comical." So he filled the leading roles with two American singers who were stunningly typecast. Isolde, Soprano Klara Barlow, 38, exhibited the leggy (5 ft. 11 in.), platinum-blonde beauty of a former chorus girl -which she is. As Tristan, Tenor Claude Heater, 38, had the squarejawed, rangy physique (6 ft. 2 in., 190 Ibs.) of a former Marine-which...

But the city is not Paris, the river not the Seine, and madame is not Coco. She is Klara Rothschild of Budapest, oracle of fashion throughout Communist Europe, recipient of the Order of Labor in the People's Republic of Hungary, and at a state-paid salary of $20,000 a year, one of János Kadar's most generously valued national assets...
...fellow plotters. Walter Ulbricht stood out as the iciest of them all, for he had no trace of sentiment or warmth. He was generally despised even by his colleagues; "Tovarish Woodenhead," they sneered behind his back because of his mimicry of Moscow. The great female stalwart of German Communism, Klara Zetkin, once remarked: "May a benevolent fate prevent this man from ever rising to the top of the Communist Party. I cannot stand him.
