...Marvel. Burnet shared his Nobel, worth $43,625, with towering (6 ft. 4½ in.) British Zoologist Peter Brian Medawar, who has been working on tissue transplants for the past 17 years. Experimenting with laboratory animals, Medawar was among the first to describe the mechanism of the puzzling "rejection reaction"-the process by which the human body develops antibodies similar to those it uses against viruses and bacteria to reject and destroy tissue transplants intended to replace diseased parts...

In one of the opera's musical high points, the Act I love duet of Giovanni and Zerlina (Soprano Judith Raskin), Siepi gave his mahogany tones a range of inflections-ardor, indignation, surprise-that told the viewer in the twist of a phrase everything about the don he needed to know. Less effective than Siepi dramatically, Negro Soprano Leontyne Price sang the role...
