...little Norwegian fishing town of Sogne prepared for the biggest social event of its history. The local girl who made good use of her stay in the U.S., Anne-Marie ("Mia") Rasmussen, 21, and her fiance, Steven Rockefeller, 23, son of New York's Governor, seemed calmer than anyone else about their wedding.

...televiewers and listeners in the spring of 1949. When RCA Victor decided to cut records from the broadcast tapes, Toscanini returned from retirement in 1954 to conduct at Carnegie Hall portions of the opera which did not satisfy him-namely, Soprano Herva Nelli's O Patria Mia and Ritorna Vincitor! (TIME, June 14, 1954). Last week Victor released (on three LPs) Toscanini's composite and deftly sound-doctored Aïda, the opera in which he made his conducting debut in Rio de Janeiro 71 years...
