...dozen operas in the company's repertory in constant rehearsal. His standards are as stern as the dueling scars on his cheek. In a recent session with a 68-year-old baritone, Felsenstein abandoned his instructions only when the old man collapsed at his feet in seizures of nausea. When a singer once demurred at a Felsenstein command to jump onto the stage from a seven-foot tower, Felsenstein jumped himself to demonstrate how safe it was. He broke his arm but was back at rehearsal 45 minutes later to wave his cast in encouragement as the despairing singer...

Now a research team at St. John's University College of Pharmacy in New York City has developed a simple, effective urine test that can be performed by a doctor in his office and can spot...
...confusion and disparate things and put them together in a frame to give them some kind of shape and meaning. Even if it's only his view of a meaning." The book's burden is probably best expressed by Lawrence Durrell. Though he suffers acute physical nausea over his work, Durrell nevertheless declares: "I find art easy. I find life difficult...
