Commuters at Rush Hour. With strong backing from Baritone Robert Merrill, beginning his 20th season with the Met in fine vocal fettle, and Tenor Sandor Konya, the flame-haired coloratura's performance was a masterpiece of bel canto. In the climactic Mad Scene, in which she sings a duologue with a fluttering solo flute, her glittering coloratura runs, leaps and trills won a standing ovation and 14 curtain calls...

Even high-style couturiers, who have a tendency to sniff at anything not imported from foreign showrooms, showed high-style appreciation.

Roberts is a tricky runner, who can weave through holes left by overeager lineman. He has a career average of over five yards a carry. UMass quarterback Jerry Whelchel ran for 68 yards against Harvard two weeks ago, almost entirely on pass patterns that misfunctioned...
