Go for the jugular, eh! No, actually.Originally Posted by mercia

... well I confess I only looked at Kobbé which says: ' "And thus receive thou my farewell!" exclaims Renato shooting him in the back' - and in its synopsis: 'A shot rings out, Riccardo fall into the arms of Oscar... '
But looking now at the sleeve-notes to the Philips Colin Davis CD I see it says "stabs him in the back"...
I am all confusion! Are there any Verdians out there who can shed light on this? It is certainly the case that the event on which it was ultimately based was with a gun - on 16 March 1792 Gustavus III was shot in the back at a masked ball at Stockholm.
Apologies if this caused undue stress

Not that either, I'm afraid.

I don't know any other Reiners - what line of business is he/she in?

Carl Reiner, American comedy writer?

The only other Reiner I can think of is Reiner Torheit (aka Al R Gando), in which case the H could stand for "Hair-trigger".

Films, maybe.

Sorry, neither of those, though the H was.
