Died. Elisabeth Rethberg, 81, top Metropolitan Opera soprano for two decades; in Yorktown Heights, N.Y. Blonde, blue-eyed and almost fearsomely robust, German-born Rethberg tried out at the Met in 1922 and stayed for 20 years, drawing raves with a clear, effortlessly powerful voice that made her a standout in an era of great Met sopranos, including Kirsten Flagstad and Lotte Lehmann.

"Young journalists use us as a training ground," says John Procope, publisher of Amsterdam News. Nor is the black press the sole voice for the black community, which until the '60s it was. Metropolitan dailies now cover some stories of special interest to blacks, as do local television stations. Moreover, the black press has largely abandoned its protest rationale of almost 150 years (the first black newspaper, Freedom's Journal, was published in 1827) without finding a new identity for itself...
