...lopsided score merely hinted at the humiliation of Italy's defeat. Not until the deciding first three matches were over did bumbling Nicola Pietrangeli and Orlando Sirola cadge a single set from their relentless Aussie tormentors. The crucial doubles match lasted only an hour; Pietrangeli and Sirola won only nine games-the worst Challenge Round showing since 1919, when Britain's doubles players dropped all but two games to Norman Brookes and Gerald Patterson of a combined Australia-New Zealand team.

The American Opera Society's orchestra, awkwardly led by Conductor Nicola Rescigno, sounded coarse. The supporting cast in the concert performance was uninspired. Soprano Joan Sutherland's mother - her first voice teacher -had died the day before in London. But in her New York debut, Joan Sutherland proved what past appearances (London, Venice, Dallas) had already shown: that even...
