Brooklyn-born Richard Tucker, 41, is gifted with vocal equipment capable of a lyrical, sensuous legato and a ringing, exciting fortissimo. Beyond that he gives credit for his eminence to 1) the late Tenor Paul Althouse for teaching him, 2) former Met Manager (and former tenor) Edward Johnson for bringing him into the Met, and 3) Rudolf Bing for elevating him in roles and income.

Latin Brio. The neo-pagan life of love and love of life revealed to Carmela in these reveries make The Film of Memory a sensuous shelfmate to David Garnett's recently published Aspects of Love (TIME, Jan. 30).

From the '205 through the '405, Macdonald-Wright had deserted his theory for experimental work ranging from sensuous figure studies to Braque-like still lifes. But after a trip to Japan four years ago, he began working again in the style of his earlier abstractions. Studying Japanese art and Oriental philosophy, he found a strength and "interior realism" that he felt was the missing element in his Paris paintings...
