Duffy, who was a TIME book reviewer for five years before taking on the cultural portfolio, grew up with a smattering of dance and piano lessons and a passion for the opera. "The Saturday-afternoon broadcast of the Met was the most important event of the week," she recalls. Today Duffy keeps a stereo and stack of classical records in her office. "I also listen to country-and-western," she says, "since editing a Merle Haggard cover five years...
