Most impressive is Carreras, a stylish singer whose suave voice is often heard to better advantage on recordings than in large opera houses. Suppressing his Hispanic accent gamely, if intermittently, to play the American Tony, Carreras lovingly spins out his phrases, making an impassioned romantic aria out of Maria and lending Puccinian fervor to the love duet One Hand, One Heart. Te Kanawa's pure, gleaming voice and British inflection seem a bit too uptown for a Puerto Rican girl from New York City's tough West Side, but she floats a golden high pianissimo at the end of Tonight...

...fast-talking, blunt-speaking man with a boyish face and ready grin, Jacobs wears his wealth casually. He sometimes answers his own phone and regularly drives himself to work from his home in the stylish Minneapolis suburb of Wayzata in a Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow II. He makes no claims to being a great long-range corporate planner, even to the point of refusing to keep an appointment calendar. Jacobs is a person of instinct and action. Says he: "You can't predict what I'm going to do next because there is no track, no character...
