With Power to Spare. "Leontyne leads with that voice," says her accompanist. David Garvey. "It is her Rock of Gibraltar." Leontyne's Gibraltar is known technically as a lyric spinto-a high soprano voice with dramatic feeling.

The suffer is apparent in the spare, abrasively powerful twelve-tone music that has flowed steadily from his pen through years of poverty, persecution and neglect. But Dallapiccola is neglected no longer: even his severest critics in Italy acknowledge his influence as the patriarch of the Italian twelve-tone school.

Like most storied Texans, James Joseph Ling, 38, does not spare expense when he wants something. Once he wanted to indulge his golfing hobby by bringing big-time professional golf matches to hometown Dallas. They failed miserably, lost $100,000. But he could well afford it. Since 1947 he has run an investment of $3,000 in an electrical contracting business into the $150-million-a-year Ling-Temco Electronics, Inc. and made himself a millionaire...
