...Soprano Price, the Met was the climax of a career that began with the female lead in Porgy and Bess. A Juilliard alumna, she turned from musical comedy to grand opera in an NBC-TV production of Tosca, was soon making guest appearances with the San Francisco opera. But it was in Europe that her career really caught fire. She made her European debut in Aïda in 1958, at the Vienna Staatsoper under Herbert von Karajan, has since sung in most of Europe's leading houses, including La Scala.

He is now at work on another opera on an American theme, laid...
...four Socratic-style tutorials a week in mathematics and in languages, two in a science laboratory, two in music (for the first three semesters), plus two weekly seminars on the great books. Friday nights they hear a lecture or concert by such visitors as Mortimer Adler and the Juilliard String Quartet. Lest all of this seem medieval, St. John's boasts "more required mathematics and laboratory work than any other liberal arts college in the country...
