Remarkably composed despite the storm that was building up (see above), Soprano Callas rehearsed new productions of Traviata and Medea for two weeks with only occasional explosions of temperament. Both performances attracted capacity crowds, and Callas endowed both of them with the kind of artistry, witchery and passion that only she can convey. The Dallas Traviata used an intriguing gimmick by presenting the story as a long flashback, starting with Violetta on her deathbed visualizing the episodes leading up to her final illness. From the first curtain, when a soft light bloomed on the reclining Violetta, to the resignation...
Newspapers got wind of what was up, and the storm was on. CALL SECRET MEET AS FALLOUT PERILS L.A.. cried Hearst's Los Angeles Herald & Express. ATOM FALLOUT RISE HERE SETS OFF PANIC. cried the Chandler Mirror-News.Switchboards lit up as anxious residents phoned city officials, newspaper offices. TV studios. Scientists passed out the word.

...Could It Be? In the outcry following this journalistic coup, Galeazzi-Lisi first defended his act ("I waited until my patient was dead"), then denied that he had received "un soldo" for his pains, then resigned his post. The College of Cardinals banned him from the Vatican. As the storm of censure mounted, the greatest cry was appropriately against the money-hungry doctor rather than the story-hungry press. Milan's daily Il Giorno (circ. 150,000), coming to the astonished realization that the Pope's chief physician was not a tried clinician, asked what was, perhaps...
...Betty Lee, it i'n't goin' to be like this all the time. It won't be too long foah we kin git married . . ." But when Jim gets around to long thoughts about the landscape, Author Salamanca puts down these words about a summer storm: "It gets gray and cool and then the wind comes gusty from the mountains . . . and the tossing trees in the wind are like oceans with little silver fish slipping through the tops of the waves...
