...parachuting newsmen, language barriers and Iranians' fear of the police made it hard to develop sources. Even now, only one Western reporter in Tehran, Andrew Whitley of the BBC and the Financial Times, speaks Farsi. The U.S. embassy was hopeless as a source because of its self-isolation. Vivid coverage of the deteriorating situation by men like Jonathan C.

The three had disappeared in August, along with Sampson's brother James...
...English National Opera (ENO) has been plying a high-quality brand of Wagner-in-translation for almost a decade to combat this problem. Using Andrew Porter's excellent modern translation, the English singers under Reginald Goodall's direction have gained an international reputation for their production. They've also been recording the operas, one by one, from live performances, and with the release last month of their Gotterdammerung (in translation, Twilight of the Gods), the entire cycle is now complete, in English, on record...
