...were wonderful,'' said Maria Callas, "but you owe something to me, you know. After all, I persuaded you to sing roles like Lucia." She was speaking to a big, square-jawed Australian woman named Joan Sutherland, a former secretary who has won a sudden but solid reputation in the Bellini-Donizetti territory that Callas calls her own.

The hit musicomedy Fiorello!, written by indefatigable (at 70) George Abbott with Jerome Weidman, was the third musical ever to win such an award (the others: Of Thee I Sing and South Pacific).
