Ardis Krainik fired him in 1989 to restore public confidence after his Tosca withdrawal, a decision that sparked mixed reputations but kept his legacy intact with 56 Lyric performances and eight concerts.

Definition of intimidation weighs on Chicago mob trial jury
A federal jury in Chicago weighing a racketeering conspiracy case against five defendants asked for the Illinois law definition of intimidation. Judge Zagel rewrote the term in plainer language and the panel recessed for a long weekend. The case centers on the Chicago Outfit and alleged use of threats and violence to discipline members, collect street tax, and juice loan debts amid 18 murders. The jurors previously asked for a dictionary and later sought the intimidation definition.
