Here is the effortless technique of Melba, formidable in the mad scene from a 1901 Lucia di Lammermoor. Here is the Italian tenor Emilio de Marchi, the first Cavaradossi, ringing the rafters with a triumphant Vittoria! in a 1903 Tosca. Here too is the white-hot French soprano Emma Calvé, a peerless Carmen; the Polish soprano Marcella Sembrich, who negotiates the Queen of the Night's treacherous coloratura con molto brio in a 1902 Magic Flute; and the soaring American soprano Nordica (née Norton), who must have been one of the most glorious Brünnhildes in history.

...busy, triumphant night for Harold Ezell. Outfitted in a blue blazer and striped tie, the Government's most ardent alien chaser jumped into a helicopter and rode along as it sent a piercing searchlight across the hills and arroyos south of San Diego.

Eventually, she still hopes to oust Zia, the general who overthrew her father, Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, in a 1977 coup and whose government executed him two years later...
Perhaps the only way to upstage Vladimir Horowitz in recital is to fall off the stage. Last week at the White House, the eminent pianist, 82, had just finished a dazzling performance, his first in the U.S. since his triumphant return to the Soviet Union last April, and the President was delivering an encomium linking the worlds of music and superpower diplomacy. As Nancy Reagan listened, the leg of her chair slipped off the edge of the platform, and she pitched into a row of potted yellow chrysanthemums. "I'm all right," she hurriedly reassured everyone. "I just wanted...
