...Alberts sang a delightfully sprightly nurse, but Thomas Hayward (her fumbling lover David) did not give his movements and voice color and conciseness and consistency necessary to a humor ostensibly quaint. So also James Billings as Beckmesser, Walther's rival for Eva, effectively deadened Wagner's critique of professional narrow-mindedness with his ill-controlled buffoonery...
...proprietor, West Coast Industrialist Norton Simon, set out to topple the complacent queen. By 1961, McCall's had passed the Journal in both ad revenue ($37.6 million to $27.1 million) and total circulation (7,400,000 to 7,200,000), though the Journal still enjoyed a narrow lead in newsstand sales...
Eyes stare out of the darkness, so green and narrow they could have been admired by a lecherous khan. They move closer. A young black cat, just full grown, steps out of a bit of sewer pipe and starts to move through the city. Its gait is all leg and female, stealthy, preying.

Life has a meaning if you're bucking for heaven...
...robbers had evidently left disappointed: there was no loose gold or small art objects that could be sold to tourists. The farmer told the police, who notified authorities in Rome, who in turn notified the Villa Giulia. Next day two archaeologists climbed the hill, squeezed through the narrow hole that the robbers had dug, emerged minutes later bursting with excitement. Scattered about inside lay 18 terra cotta figures, each representing a member of a family that had been buried there probably between 200 and 100 B.C. They formed the largest cache of Etruscan funerary statues ever found in such good...
