George Washington University's most noted faculty member is Earl Warren, 79, former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, who will hold six seminars a term. Teacher Warren will accept no salary, but expects a large payoff in fun. "I like to visit with young people," he said enthusiastically after his first session last week. "But I don't intend to start an academic career at my advanced age, particularly when professors 15 years younger are being asked to retire...

On Thursday, across the plaza at the New York City Opera, where Domingo broke into the big time four years ago, he played the Earl of Essex to Beverly Sills' Queen Elizabeth in a splendid new production of Donizetti's Roberto Devereux. Like any operatic tenor, Domingo does a lot of theatrical dying. "When you are dying," he says with a wink, "you have more chance to suffer, and the public likes suffering...
