...died in Act IV, her voice contained some of the bite and much of the richness of a clarinet. But its quality was warmed and softened with womanliness. It floated with effortless grace, swelled until it filled the whole block-long auditorium, tapered off sensuously into a decorative vocal arabesque. Whether she was making the most of one of her meaty arias or balancing her tones in ensemble with another singer's, the Callas voice went straight to the listener's solar plexus...
...send his 16-year-old son to the Vienna conservatory. Two years later, Eddie returned to New York, but could not even sing up a good supper, let alone rent; at one point he was sleeping in Central Park.

Walton, after all, is neither Italian nor Russian, and no one need complain...

The Crimson claimed that the Big Red deliberately ran no plays at Meigs the whole game, and therefore he had little chance to show his true prowess...
