Though the company billed its new Carmen as the next best thing to a rock concert, the results were closer in style to a rip-roaring Broadway show, an impression strengthened by the use of Bizet's original opera-comique version, in which the dialogue is spoken rather than sung, and a refreshingly colloquial English translation by Sheldon Harnick (Fiddler on the Roof).

Democrats like the bill as is; they're trying -- so far in vain -- to close debate and force a vote on the existing version. It's a good old-fashioned Senate stalemate, and suddenly the tobacco industry has something to chuckle about: An ugly Beltway bill is headed for an ugly Beltway funeral...
