Kirsten Flagstad, Indomitable Met Opera Soprano
Harold C Schonberg notes Kirsten Flagstad died aged 67 in Norway. At the Metropolitan Opera she was famed for unwavering tempo and control, delivering legato, silver-toned Wagnerian roles from Brunnhilde to Isolde and maintaining a disciplined, unhurried career across decades. Her debut in 1935 came unheralded, yet impressed critics and audiences alike for twenty years.

Campaign Against VD Warns of Victim Rise Among Youth
Dr Leona Baumgartner, chair of the U S surgeon general task force on syphilis, cautions in McCall's that venereal disease has made a tragic comeback especially among teenagers and young adults. She cites a 56 percent rise in syphilis among teens and a 73 percent rise among 20 to 24 year olds from 1960 to 1961, with gonorrhea up 20 percent over five years and argues actual cases exceed reported totals. She blames teen rebellion, antibiotic overconfidence, and reduced funding for VD control, urging a revival of anti VD campaigns based on her findings.
