...London, six months after it was seen in Manhattan, Salt of the Earth (TIME, March 29) opened to rave reviews in the anti-U.S. and left-wing press.

Last week, at the Metropolitan Opera House, the part was taken by Jerome Hines, 32, the first U.S.-born basso to try it there, and the season's fourth basso (after Nicola Rossi-Lemeni, George...
