Much of the confusion is Marre's fault. Her Kate is as easily distracted, inconsistent and uncontrollably violent as a child. Although she begins with a convincing psychological blend of jealousy (towards her sister) and craving (for Baptista's love), Marre fails to weld any emotional links. After her meeting with Petruchio, the first man who has ever silenced her--he answers her rails with songs and her frowns with eloquence--she is completely unimpressed. And when, after their hasty wedding, Petruchio determines to go home to the country, either with or without her, Marre vacillates too thoughtlessly between yielding...

The idea behind the bottled blend of Worcestershire sauce, natural lemon flavor, bitters and spices is to let drinkers mix their Bloody Marys to taste. Each eight-fluid-ounce bottle ($1.60) can be used for up to 50 drinks -fewer, of course, if some like...
...Verdi Requiem was a marvel of controlled fervor. Soprano Mirella Freni's concluding Libera me had a rare blend of sweetness and power. The Brahms Requiem seemed cut from velvet rather than the usual broadcloth. Karajan's reading was a subdued rumination, a realization of the deeply personal utterance the composer drew from the Lutheran Bible. In the elegiac "And ye now therefore have sorrow," Soprano Leontyne Price seemed to distill grief and comfort into a burnished flow of melody...
