Misplaced Aria. What few realized was the extent of Landon's "a la Haydn" restoration: fully one-third of the opera was pure Landon. So skillful was the reweaving job that even Director Werner Duggelin and Conductor Alberto Erede were taken in. Questioned about the major aria, "Quanti diversi sentimenti nel cuor!" (How many emotions are in my breast!) in the second act, Duggelin unhesitatingly replied: "Oh, that is Haydn, beyond any doubt. Of course, I know Landon did a job of restoration. But as a professional, one knows what and where, of course." Echoed Erede: "That is Haydn...
...free or sold at cut rates with the purchase of gasoline. Texaco dealers last year sold 2,000,000 red fire hats with built-in, transistorized loudspeakers for only $3.98, about one-third of the retail price. Sinclair gives away dinosaur-shaped cakes of soap for children, and Pure Oil dealers offer a free car wash with every eight gallons of gasoline, plus wrist watches, movie cameras and coffee pots at cut rates...

Moisture from the ocean causes a heavy dew at night so that golf courses rarely need water on their fairways. In general, the Hamptons are as rigidly socially conscious as Newport, and when snobbery has reared its gelid head it has sometimes been intensified by the rivalry between the two communities. For years, Southampton claimed a social edge. It had tighter restrictions on who could buy property in the community...
...weeks, its tenure stretched by the fine acting of John Gielgud and Irene Worth, and Author Edward Albee's teasing defenses. Musicals, which made up nearly a third of the new offerings, did little better. The most literate, Oh What a Lovely War, never saw its fifth month; pure hokum promoted Baker Street toward the winner's circle, and Fiddler on the Roof, skimming the surface of a Sholom Aleichem story, became the smash of the season...
