DIED. ROBERT STACK, 84, grimacing movie stalwart; of heart failure; in Los Angeles. Over a 60-year career, he is best remembered as Eliot Ness in TV's The Untouchables. But the L.A. native was equally impressive in 1950s epics by Budd Boetticher (The Bullfighter and the Lady), Samuel Fuller (House of Bamboo) and William Wellman (The High and the Mighty). Beneath his rugged looks and rough voice, Stack often suggested a psychic danger, an imminent imploding that got him an Oscar nomination for Written on the Wind and gave his Ness the undertone of obsessiveness: a G-man Javert...
DIED. ROBERT STACK, 84, actor; in Los Angeles. Though best remembered as TV's Eliot Ness in The Untouchables, Stack was most impressive in seminal films by Ernst Lubitsch (To Be or Not to Be), Budd Boetticher (The Bullfighter and the Lady) and William Wellman (The High and the Mighty).

Flip on MTV, Black Entertainment Television or an ESPN postgame press conference, and you're bound to see rapper Nelly in a bright orange Spirits of St. Louis jersey (the basketball team folded in 1976) or Tampa Bay Buccaneers football star Warren Sapp in a Kelly green, early 1980s...
After drama, VI-4 turned to lighter motifs, as exemplified in The Courting of Montebravado (music by Alexander S. Ness ’04 and libretto by Andrew B. Pacelli ’03). The fifteen minute opera is set in four short scenes that mimick and make fun of the traditional Italian court opera. The Italian names are unseemly and the plot deals with true love impeded by money-loving clergy and arranged marriage, which is ultimately saved by murder. The story is quite obviously a farce—and an entertaining one, especially in light of the fact...
