...moment. Should we buy anchor shoulder boards for our summer uniforms, and sell them to the next class? What hats can we wear with whites as Midshipmen? Can we wear whites as Midshipmen? For graduation, though, you'd better have an officer's visor cap, white cover, insignia, et al, and white shoes. Black shoes are required with khakis on and off the station.

For 20 years at Manhattan's Metropolitan Opera these benign Wagnerian oldsters have been impersonated by the outstanding Wagnerian baritone of his generation, stocky, bald-headed Friedrich Schorr. Last week, before a packed house that rose to its feet and cheered, Friedrich Schorr sang Wotan for the last time...
