...Cross, the cantata retells, in Latin, the parable of the good Samaritan. Shorter and less dramatic than Britten's widely performed War Requiem, it is nevertheless eloquent as performed by the London Symphony orchestra and chorus, conducted by Britten, with Peter Pears as the Samaritan and Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau as the Jewish traveler...
...Chanel showing it is de rigueur for spectators to wear their own little Chanel suits out of loyalty to Coco. But no one told Barbra; she swept in to take her place beside Marlene Dietrich and Elsa Martinelli in a jaguar-skin suit and Homburg that had even the models gawking. How did she like the show?

The actor who plays Hitler, Billy Frick, is so exact a look-alike that he is afraid to leave the set except mustacheless and in mufti...
...religious as well as secular. From Sören Kierkegaard, the death-of-God thinkers developed the idea that organized Christianity is a kind of idolatry that has obscured the real message of the Gospel behind irrelevant and outdated cultural forms. And they follow closely in the footsteps of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, the anti-Nazi German martyr of World War II whose prison-cell writings speak of the need for the church to develop a "nonreligious interpretation of Biblical concepts," and of a secular world "come of age" that no longer finds God necessary as a hypothesis to explain...
