Florence's Maggio Musicale (through June 20) will repeat its popular production of Director-Set Designer Franco Zef-ferelli's Euridice, while Composer Gian Carlo Menotti's Festival of Two Worlds at Spoleto, Italy (June 24-July 18), will augment...
Last week in Bonn, after five years of committee hearings and debate, the Bundestag finally voted to deNazify corporate law. The sweeping reform legislation that it passed is virtually a stockholders' Magna Carta that will curb the power of industrial kings and guarantee the rights of stockholders. The law, which applies to publicly owned companies, should also provide German industry with a new flow of badly needed capital...
