Berlioz: L'Enfance du Christ (Mezzo Janet Baker, Tenor Eric Tappy, Baritone Thomas Allen, London Symphony Orchestra, Colin Davis conductor, Philips; 2 LPs).

Yet in most other sections of the city day or night, restaurants and discos are open and busy; action has even returned to the baccarat tables and slot machines the Casino du Liban, near Jounieh, though its Lido-style floor show has yet to reopen. In warm weather, Beirut's St Georges swimming club, located next to the internationally renowned burned-out hotel of the same name, has reopened for swimming, sunning and girl watching Owner Michel Nader, who spent...
