Melchior, now 78, has been doing his part by scouring the ranks of young singers for potential Heldentenor ma terial. He formed his own Heldentenor Foundation five years ago, and by this year had raised enough money to offer some deserving prospect a year of sub sidized study and practice. Last week, at Manhattan's Juilliard School, he auditioned nine candidates from among 50 applicants around the country.

Then last month PBL, the Ford Foundation's $12.5 million experiment in public-interest television, began its second year on an encouragingly upbeat note (TIME, Dec. 6). Birth and Death, PBL's cinéma vérité documentary on natural childbirth and death by cancer, won critical acclaim, and the staff was jubilant.
