Anxious to become a world seaport, Bainbridge, Ga. (pop. 7,562) enjoys two advantages: 1) it straddles the Flint River, 105 miles from the Gulf of Mexico; 2) it is the home town of Georgia's frog-voiced Governor S. (for Samuel) Marvin Griffin.

Her latest success: Erika in Samuel Barber's Vanessa (TIME, Jan. 27). Although a good singer, she is not yet a great one, and her voice must gain weight and authority before she can conquer such big mezzo roles as Amneris (Aïda) or the Princess Eboli (Don Carlo...
