...conjunction of two such legendary figures is a wonderful premise for a film. Freud's place in history has reached such dimensions that he is certainly as much of a mythic character as the fictional Holmes. Their pooling of talents promises to be a mystery buff's paradise. Each man in his own way dispels the mysterious: Holmes reveals the order in the rational, objective world while Freud illuminates the power of the irrational in the sphere of the subconscious. The cooperation of the two great detective minds in cracking the case of the missing Lola Devereaux and Freud...
...committee, by a 298-to-254 vote, chose Rabin over Peres as its candidate to succeed Golda Meir as Premier. The latest flare-up involves Asher Yadlin, whom Rabin recently picked to be governor of the Bank of Israel, the country's No. 2 financial post. A gambling buff (he favors the Las Vegas roulette table) with an eye for pretty women, Yadlin is also a major fund raiser for the Labor Party; since 1973, he has headed Israel's huge Kupat Holim health-insurance program. Yadlin was arrested in mid-October and is now being held...

The movie is beautifully filmed and sometimes stands on the verge of not only showing intelligent life but also being the most cleverly wrapped political package since Chinatown. And then all of a sudden whap!--it's the dumbest one since The Day the Earth Stood Still. An article in last Thursday's Times about the Rugoft theater...
...many an opera buff the music is all well and good, but what really counts is the thrill of encountering a glamorous big-name conductor-such as Paris' Sir Georg Solti (who will conduct Le Nozze di Figaro and Otello) or La Scala's dashing Claudio Abbado (Macbeth, La Cenerentola, Simon Boccanegra). Or being present when an important artist breaks through into international stardom-as, say, Paris' dulcet-voiced soprano Margaret Price (the Countess in Figaro, Desdemona in Otello) may well do this time. Before La Scala and Paris wind up their two-week stands (Paris will...
