...première, the woman lawyer was so emotionally shattered by having to spend a single night in the clink that she could not open her mouth in court the next day. (Hubby came to the rescue, naturally.) The next week she "proved" her right to wear a pantsuit into a fancy Los Angeles restaurant (a right won long ago by other pantsuited Angelenos) by forcing her husband to wear a dress at the office.

With each student, she proceeds as she did last week with Korean Soprano Kyu Do Park. She let her sing all of Mi chiamano Mimi (They call me Mimi) from La Boheme, then went to work, singing phrases back to show how to put meaning into them. When Callas came to the word "Mimi," her rich, smoky...
