...signatures needed for a national referendum on atomic energy. A new opinion poll found that 71% of those surveyed would bar new nuclear units, while about half favored closing Italy's three existing facilities. The government of Socialist Prime Minister Bettino Craxi opposes the referendum. Says Party Spokesman Claudio Martelli: "Italy is surrounded by countries, like France, with dozens of nuclear plants in operation, many of them very close to our borders. What practical alternatives do we have for maintaining a high level of competition...
MENDELSSOHN: Five Symphonies; Three Overtures. Claudio Abbado conducting the London Symphony Orchestra (Deutsche Grammophon; 4 LPs or CDs). Imagine the history of 19th century music if Felix Mendelssohn had been the great romantic icon instead of Beethoven. In place of egocentric storms there would be grace and lucidity; instead of anguish there would be serenity and inner peace.

When it was first performed at the end of the 16th century, Much Ado must have seemed as modern as Utopia. The main plot dated back to the Greeks: fair Hero is slandered, then allows her lover Claudio to think she has died. But the subplot, in which Hero's cousin Beatrice and Claudio's friend Benedick talk themselves out of and then into love, served up a sexual set-to whose rapier eloquence has inspired just about every British playwright of manners from Congreve to Coward and beyond. While Hero and Claudio played out their fustian collision...
