...Hypochondria. Because of the delicacy of his vocal organ, the tenor is forced to baby his voice. Many carry this to extremes, even denying themselves sex for 48 hours before a performance because it may coarsen their tone. (One contemporary tenor has refined this after learning by a process of trial and error that his voice is at its peak exactly three days after sexual intercourse.) Despite all his precautions, the tenor tends to feel himself hoarse as a wolf at curtain time, and often decides he has a cold. If he can be forced onto the stage, his natural...
Sudsy Sagas. CBS made daytime TV drearier than usual by adding two new 30-minute soap operas to its already numbing roster.

(Order of Servants of Mary). Did a hot saxophonist have a chance to be accepted as candidate...

The friends of the free press also held that the law attempts to discourage lobbying or political activity but has no effect on a non-partisan organ of student opinion...
