...tend to treat their voices like some strange visitor who, if not properly managed, will suddenly desert them. Birgit Nilsson lubricates her pipes with beer, Eileen Farrell quaffs warm Coca-Cola and follows it with burping exercises, Gwyneth Jones takes hot and cold showers and yawns a lot. The rage for eating raw garlic is so popular among German tenors (a cashew-sized sliver two hours before performing is supposed to strengthen the heart) that one indignant Italian soprano recently went onstage with an aerosol can of deodorant. Tenor Franco Corelli thoughtfully combines his raw-meat and garlic diet with...
...chin on an accompanist's shoulder in a quest for greater intensity, even strolls out into the audience to invite a sing-along during some of the merrier numbers. Spotlighted in shameless mauves and chartreuses, caressing the microphone, pushing his husky voice from tenderness to remorse to rage, Becaud makes it seem that singing about love may be the world's oldest profession...
...paper's founders, Norman Mailer, who thought the Voice was becoming too square. Mailer also suspected that Wolf was using typos to sabotage his column defending the hip way of life.

O'Connor brought reporters to the bank near a ferry landing at Yonkers earlier in the day, and all present sniffed...
...troops or trousers. The colonel (Peter Bayliss) doesn't notice, since he is a total Blimpcompoop. He does notice that the peanuts are missing at the officers' bar, and he raises unprintable hell. World regularly mocks British dead-face understatement about things that count v. British redneck rage over trifles. Bayliss does a kind of tonsillectomy of his part. He wheezes, bleeps, snorts, and plays endless comic tunes on his catarrh. He is like an animated poster propagandizing the inanity, silliness and stupidity of the military...
