Clever Chatter. With Collier cast as the mother, Composer Levy had to alter the role from mezzo to soprano; he also changed the role of her son from tenor to baritone. That was regrettable. Though John Reardon as the son and Sherill Milnes as the lover both performed superbly, the pairing of two baritones and two sopranos robbed the vocal writing of contrast. More damaging was the fact that Levy's mildly modern score, conducted by Zubin Mehta, did not meet the challenge of the theme, too often resorted to clever percussive chattering that seemed to say "crisis coming...

Reardon of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court.

David Shapiro, graduate of Harvard Law School and a former clerk for Justice John Harlan, left private practice after five years "because I felt there just wasn't any challenge left in it." As Committee Reporter, he acted as liaison between the formal committee and the research staff. During the period of intensive research from December 1964 to October 1965, he sent out periodic communications to the Committee members, keeping them up to date. "We would send out changes [in the conclusions] and they would send...
