When Susan Seaforth Hayes was four, she played the soon-to-be-orphaned child named Trouble in Madama Butterfly in Los Angeles. It was a prophetic debut. At 32, Susan is still jerking tears. For seven years, she has been the troublemaking Julie of Days of Our Lives whose voluptuous cleavage and lustrous black eyes get her every guy in Salem except the one she really wants -Doug Williams. Fate has kept Julie from Doug- a torture that regularly throws her into despair and hysteria. For her performance, however, Susan rates nothing but hyperbole. Says Joan Blondell...
...consider other possibilities as well. For example, they might recommend Fidel Castro, who startled the diplomatic world during his last visit to the United States by staying in a Harlem hotel instead of the Waldorf-Astoria. Or they might follow their predecessors of two years ago and consider Madama Binh. If they prefer to limit themselves to Americans, the seniors have a less charismatic but still meritorious group to choose from. Roger Baldwin '04, founder of the American Civil Liberties Union, will probably be in town for Commencement anyway. Henry Aaron may be swinging through, too, now that...
...exquisite 16th century Villa Madama, overlooking Rome from atop the bluff of Monte Mario, is normally an Italian government guest house for visiting heads of state.

Scarcely hours before the Villa Madama summit, results were announced from regional elections on the island of Sardinia, 125 miles out in the KEYSTONE Mediterranean. Socialists and Communists had been expected to win handsomely and they did, thus continuing a national voting trend to the left that became obvious last month in a referendum over retaining Italy's divorce law. On Sardinia the two leftist parties drew abreast of the Christian Democrats for the first time since World...
Beverly does not have the powerful top notes for roles like Tosca or Cio-Cio-San in Madama Butterfly, and particularly not for Wagnerian roles like Brünnhilde in Götterdämmerung. But she is ideally suited to bel canto, and to the French lyric romanticism of Gounod and Massenet. In these areas she is unbeatable, and even among the diverse other sopranos in this age of great sopranos?Birgit Nilsson, Sutherland, Price, Marilyn Horne, Monserrat Caballé?she more than holds...
