...have had their voice boxes removed in surgery and have never mastered the difficult art of speaking with the gullet. Contoured to fit the hand and powered by tiny batteries, the artificial larynx is pressed against the flesh of the throat, transmits vibrations into the lower end of the vocal tract. These vibrations can be converted into voiced sounds of speech in a normal manner-by use of the tongue, teeth and lips. But because no flow of air is required, the user can speak with the electronic larynx while exhaling, inhaling or holding his breath. The gadget comes...
...role of Ruggiero, Mezzo Blanche Thebom flawlessly handled the difficult vocal and dramatic task of portraying a knight who, bewitched by a Circe-like enchantress, has forgotten his past but is gradually regaining his memory. British Mezzo Monica Sinclair, also making her U.S. debut, displayed a fierce, darkly colored voice, matched at every turn by the other principals-U.S. Soprano Joan Marie Moynagh, Italy's Luigi Alva and Nicola Zaccaria.

Thanks to her, Molly is dripping but undrowned...
...subject of Soviet politics Mrs. Titova grew more vocal. When asked how Russians had reacted to Khrushchev's recent performance in the U.N. she became quite animate. "The great majority of the people approved of what he said in his speech. He is almost always able to express the essence of what Russians feel on a particular issue. He speaks very well for us. As for the hitting (Mrs. Titova tapped her fist on the arm of her chair in delicate imitation of Chairman Khrushchev) that is not the important thing. You must remember that Khrushchev comes from working class...
