1983Year Though starved for resources, New York City's overflowing criminal courts lavish time upon lawyers who question prospective jurors. A bill to curtail this abuse - one-third of trial time is spent picking juries - comes before the Codes Committee of the State Legislature in Albany today. State law does not require uncontrolled, endless and intrusive questions of citizens being considered for a trial jury. Some judges manage to rein in attorneys who would waste entire days in detailed discussion of jurors' occupations, home life and hobbies. But many judges are too timid or inefficient to guide the proceedings firmly
they let the lawyers rap for hours. Wasting the Courts' Precious Time
1986Year AUDIENCE polls at the New York City Opera and the Chicago Lyric Opera have indicated an overwhelming enthusiasm for supertitles, but there are still pugnacious voices raised against the practice. Supertitles are a childishly didactic insult to the literate opera audience, we read. They subvert any motivation to prepare oneself properly for the operatic experience. They absolve the singer of the need to articulate the text. They destroy the moment-by-moment, word-to-note correlation of musical drama. Most of these arguments seem specious at best and suspicious at worst, the feeble protests of translators suddenly threatened with a reduction in employment. True, when the first title flashes onto the screen one does feel momentarily insulted, as if one had wandered into some ritualized lecture-demonstration about opera rather than to an opera itself. But that soon passes, and the advantages are obvious - supertitles allow singers to sing in the original, which preserves the vocal sounds the composer imagined
they let the singer sing anywhere in the world; they genuinely contribute to a deepening of the operatic experience by making a better connection between music and drama than would be otherwise possible, and in so doing they demystify opera in the best and most democratic way. At the recent ''Ring des Nibelungen'' in Seattle, for instance, the presence of supertitles - even less than ideal ones - seemed invaluable for an American audience during Wagner's long narrative monologues. SUPERTITLES, THE DEMYSTIFIERS OF OPERA
1983Year ''Two on the Town,'' on WCBS-TV at 7:30 tonight, is a permutation of ''happy news.'' Adrienne Meltzer and Lloyd Kramer, the reporters, or hosts, do feature stories. They smile a lot, but because the smiles are not smirks there is an unpretentious quality to ''Two on the Town'' that happy news otherwise lacks. Miss Meltzer and Mr. Kramer also do not get in the way of their stories
they let them happen around them. TV: HAPPY 'NEWS' TALK
