When National Security Adviser Richard Allen announced just after Thanksgiving that he was taking an "administrative leave" from his White House job, the betting in Washington was that Allen's leave-taking would be permanent. Now that estimation has proved to be correct. Allen had been under investigation by the Justice Department for accepting $1,000 and three watches from a Japanese magazine for helping to arrange an interview with Nancy Reagan, and for filing inaccurate financial disclosure statements.

To correct this, we must go back to the very roots of what the composer has in mind, to restore opera to its natural life...
