Thus last week groveled and fawned Signer Riccardo Forster, editor of the largest news organ in Southern Italy, Il Mattino of Naples. Meanwhile, however, a very slight and cautious reaction from such typical abasement was setting in at Rome. There, a diligent official dared to criticise pampered Mario Carli, editor of L'Impero and prime favorite of Il Duce. Recently, Italian wives have been told by Signer Carli that they must bear a son every two years (TIME, Jan. 21); and intending tourists have been called "fat drones" (TIME, Jan. 28) and warned that they are not wanted...

That was all right, for they were performing Cavalleria Rusticana at the Metropolitan Opera House and biting was in the stage directions. But Tenor Tokatyan bit the ear of Baritone Basiola so thoroughly that first-aid had to be performed at the end of the scene. Thereafter, Tenor Tokatyan explained that the unintended ferocity of his bite was caused by a nail which stuck up from his shoe into his foot...
