...German version of the Ring especially, one could see and hear London's influence on the singers' diction, gestures and all-round Wagnerian style. Where his touch left off, Conductor Henry Holt's picked up. The Vienna-born, Los Angeles-reared Holt, 41, has been the Seattle Opera's music director for nine years. His Wagner may lack Sir Georg Solti's dynamism. But it has warmth, coherence and authority...
...All-Round Settlement. Publicly, Assad has always favored a resumed Geneva Conference as the best route toward an all-round settlement. Sadat does not oppose a Geneva Conference in principle, but he has hinted that Egypt is still prepared to hold further bilateral negotiations with Israel. Moreover, by implying that the conference should not be held until after the next Arab summit meeting-which is set for June-the Egyptian President has effectively delayed a reconvening of the conference until midsummer.

Parsky serves Treasury Secretary William Simon as confidant, emissary and all-round Mr. Fixit. He sees Simon a dozen times daily and often closes his 14-hour workday chatting with his chief over soggy pizza and a couple of fingers of Scotch. With his wife and two children, Parsky sometimes spends Sunday, his only day off, at the Simon estate in Virginia...
