Everything must contribute to the success of this goal, and of course the scenery and costumes play a large part in this undertaking. Although an opera can be enjoyed on cassette or radio, to see it is to truly believe it; there is little doubt that as a spectacle seen on stage, opera is a synthesis of the arts. No wonder an opera is a complex machine involving performances of singing actors, stage managers, costume designers, make-up artists, a full orchestra and behind it all, the authors of a text written or re-written as lyrics.

...last week's panel on feminism at Harvard would suffer from such an unstructured debate, and to a certain extent it did. After all, as the panelists kept repeating, feminism means different things to different people. But in spite of the imperfectly defined subject matter, the discussion was a success because each panelist gave his or her own definition of feminism at the outset and a uniform opinion emerged--that at its most basic level, feminism is the expectation or demand that women be viewed as equal to men in the eyes of the law and of society...
