What a standing-room-only audience saw one night last week was a fast-moving, well-sung, dramatic (if occasionally overplayed) Don Giovanni in two acts.

Railroads were still having their troubles. And aircraft companies, as expected, were in dismal shape. Douglas Aircraft, which usually manages to show a profit, has lost $1,170,037 so far this year...
