...government man with the small box slung over his shoulder paced slowly to and fro, holding his rodlike detector close to the ground and listening to the sounds in his earphones: rhythmic clicks, five to 50 a minute, depending on the minerals under foot. As he walked, the clicking sped up, whirred into a roar. The man stopped, noted down the location. He had detected a deposit of the world's most coveted mineral: uranium ore, chief source of atomic energy...
...Cantata for Molotov. She is working on an opera, ordered by the Bolshoi Theater, based on a story of Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya, a girl-Partisan heroine who was executed by the Nazis. Aram has won the Order of Lenin and two Stalin prizes (the last for his swirling, furiously rhythmic ballet, Gayane, a U.S. best-seller). He made a big hit with the Russian public during the war by returning one of his 50,000-ruble Stalin prizes ($10,000) and asking that a tank be built with the money...

So you go in the other direction." But Britten's insistent, subtle use of rhythmic and dissonant backgrounds put a wallop into Librettist Ronald Duncan's seething play. The opera opens with a rousing drinking and singing bout in the tent of Roman Generals Junius and Collatinus, with Tarquinius, the Etruscan prince who "treats the proud city [Rome] as if it were his whore...
