Though widely regarded as a hawk, Peres in his recent pronouncements takes an increasingly moderate, statesmanlike approach toward Israel's relations with both enemies and allies. He favors a step-by-step approach to peace in the Middle East. If elected Premier, he is expected to go along with President Carter's proposal to reconvene the Geneva talks this year. He would certainly be more ingenious and inventive than the stolid Rabin. Like Rabin, however, he will be intransigent on questions dealing with the Palestine Liberation Organization.

...mellowing tone was set during a Kremlin dinner for visiting Cuban Premier Fidel Castro, at which Soviet Party Chief Leonid Brezhnev suggested that the Moscow chill had not been intended as a deepfreeze. He referred to the U.S. as "our partners" and scolded the Americans for "losing their constructive approach" and for adhering to a "onesided position."

Use of the songs to fill in some of the "psychological gaps" is a potentially dangerous technique. Mozart, for example, produced joyous music in desperate circumstances. With Schubert, however, it seems an acceptable approach. Aside from his school teaching and boozy sessions in various Viennese inns, the composer had almost no life at all apart from his music. "He needed to imagine what he could not experience," says Fischer-Dieskau. "That is why he loved poets above all others." The popular image of Schubert...
