Besse's murder took place as another terrorist drama unfolded in a West Berlin courtroom. Opening amid tight security, the trial of Palestinians Ahmed Hasi and Farouk Salameh brought forward evidence that the Syrian government was linked to the March bombing in West Berlin of the German-Arab Friendship Society offices, which left nine people injured.

...Weill, these are among the composer's most familiar. The soprano's increasingly raw voice is not entirely suitable to the works of the American period, like the wistful waltz Foolish Heart, from One Touch of Venus.
