...sensitive nerve, Russell further objected that the resolution would "change the procedures of the Senate as they have existed since its creation." Said he: "I'm not trying to muscle in on the Senator's committee. I'm trying to keep him from muscling in on mine...
...Socialists won wide sympathy with their proposed speakers' exchange with East Germany on the question of reunification. Perhaps more important was the record oversupply of 21 million tons of coal, which stands in ominous black mountains from Bottrop to Bochum. To the Ruhr, it brought the fear of mine closings, short shifts and layoffs. The big steel firms are running at a scant 80% of production capacity. Add to that the perennial German fear of inflation, and the fact that living costs rose 4.4% in the past year, and the stage was set for trouble...

Conrad Susa's music is a mishmash of styles. "O mistress mine," accompanied by bells, suffered from Mathews' inability to sing on pitch. At the opening performance he did better with "Come away, death," a quite lovely piece accompanied by two oboes and a harp. He is allowed to end the show as Shakespeare wrote it, singing "When that I was" all alone on stage. The lights...
