Devoted to an art that his dictator father proscribed as decadent, Jazz Pianist Romano Mussolini, 33, has long kept his political opinions to himself. Last week, temporarily diverting his attention from the combo he fronts in a new Rome nightclub, Romano finally admitted his belief that in most respects Papa knew best. Said he: "I would be a Fascist now or at any time in the past. Though I was brought up in a particular environment, I'm a Fascist in logic and conviction as well as in sentiment." He thinks that Italians were lots jollier under the Duce...
...Then the Italians settled down to play. In the doubles, Pietrangeli's finesse and Sirola's power combined for a 3-6, 10-8, 6-4, 6-8, 6-4 victory over Buchholz and his boyhood partner from St. Louis, stocky Chuck McKinley, 19. Next day Pietrangeli kept Italy alive by using patty-ball tactics to befuddle the slugging Buchholz, 6-1, 6-2, 6-8, 3-6, 6-4. That put the team score at 2-2 and set up a showdown between MacKay and Sirola, two of the hardest hitters in tennis...
...from the atmosphere, the ocean or surface rocks, but if they can be proved to have come from the virgin lava itself, they may contribute valuable evidence about the formation of the earth. One theory holds that the earth was formed quickly out of dust particles and that it kept hot enough while growing to drive all gases out of its interior. A rival theory is that the earth grew slowly and kept fairly cool, trapping much gas in its insides. Only after radioactivity had heated and melted the deep-down rocks did the gases try to escape through volcanic...
...been a seasonal fixture ever since. Last week another Christmas opera, Golden Child, was displayed on NBC's Hallmark Hall of Fame. Composed by Philip Bezanson with a libretto by Paul Engle, the new work sounded a lot like Menotti gone western-and gone weak. The music kept attempting to soar melodically, but kept being dashed to the ground again by its own heaviness. Still, the score had its stirring, lyrical moments, and Golden Child deserved credit at least for trying to be a serious addition to American opera, to TV and to the season...
...York City stores fell 1% behind last year in the first full week in December, although New York's Lord &; Taylor scored the best single sale day in its history. But last week New York was hit by heavy snows that kept shoppers at home-except for those hunting overshoes, gloves and overcoats. Boston also was blizzarded. To catch up, downtown Boston stores stayed open Saturday night for the first time in history...
