Why, for example, does a once outspoken liberal like Mayor Kevin White have to uncommittedly walk a tightrope on the busing issue, protecting himself with a net of double-talking and triple-talking aides below?

She made her debut with the Hamburg Opera in 1910, four years later with the Vienna Opera, where she created several roles for her friend Richard Strauss, and in 1934 with the Metropolitan. Notable among her 100 roles were her yielding Sieglinde in Die Walküre, her devout Elisabeth in Tannhäuser and, most outstanding of all, her matchless Marschallin in Der Rosenkavalier. At 62, she reduced a Town Hall audience to tears when she announced her retirement, quoting the Marschallin, who looked at her aging face in the mirror and said...
