...South. Back in Washington, the President measured his work load against a sudden desire to get into warm country, found the balance in favor of a long weekend vacation. With the special messages on education ($1 billion over four years to step up U.S. education in the satellite age) and on reciprocal trade (see Foreign Trade) dispatched to Congress, the only big hurdle was a Friday-morning breakfast speech to the Republican national committeemen. Taking the hurdle in stride, the President got off the kind of no-clichés-barred political pep talk GOPoliticians wish he had delivered...
CARLO BERGONZI, 33, a thickset, muscular Italian tenor who paces the stage as he winds up for a big aria, is well worth hearing when he finally stands still and left loose. His voice is warm, strong and sure. Good tenors are never in plentiful supply; with Fellow Newcomers Labo and Gedda, Bergonzi makes the Met unusually rich in the tenor department...

A Lebanese-American born in Lowell, Mass., she began singing the Metropolitan's smallest roles four years ago, rose to starring parts through a combination of good looks (she is the Met's youngest, prettiest leading singer) and a warm, full-timbered voice.

...Italy (he recalls being so weak from hunger that he could climb to his third-floor room only once a day). Since then, he has sung widely in Europe, last summer toured as Emile de Becque with Mary Martin in South Pacific. A onetime baritone, Tozzi has a deep, warm voice in which much of the baritone quality persists, also has fine stage presence and plenty of humor (as he demonstrated as the Old Doctor in Vanessa). Tozzi ought to make a good Don Giovanni in time...
Garden District comprises two Tennessee Williams plays laid in New Orleans. Something Unspoken, dealing with an uppity society woman and her secretary-companion, is a warm-up piece that leaves the spectator cold. Suddenly Last Summer is a vivid display of Williams' unique virtues and persisting excesses. A kind of psychological suspense piece, it works backward from the knowledge of a self-luxuriating "poet's" death to the nature of it. His rich, ruthless mother had long shared her son's dubious traveled life, but when she had a slight stroke, he took a young girl cousin...
