View from the top: Letters from Abroad

BOLOGNA, Italy – Cars probably didn’t drive across the stage at the Vienna premiere of Christoph Willibald Gluck’s opera “Orphee et Eurydice.” I am also willing to bet the audience would have been shocked if the parts of the firemen were played by young men in red patent leather bodysuits. This is most likely because the classic French opera, which is based upon an ancient Greek tale, debuted in 1762.

A Greenwich, Conn., elementary school has banned cookies, ice cream and other sweets from the lunch menu. This might sound harsh, but we say the school couldn’t have made a better choice. With high rates of childhood obesity and diabetes, good nutrition should not just be emphasized, but rather enforced. We need to curb unhealthy eating at an early age.

Internet buzzkills

By Amanda Lowry · Monday, Jan. 14,2008 7:27 p.m.
