Treigle, 45, is one of the best acting basses in the business. Till now he has been best known for his near-definitive interpretation of Boito's Meftstofele. In Hoffmann, he imbues Coppelius with the grace of ballet, which he studied to equip himself for opera. Treigle's Dappertutto is all bluster and crafty swagger, perhaps reflecting the lessons he once took from a Mexican matador. His Dr. Miracle demonstrates the hypnotic effect of the most stylistic, crafty and flexible set of arms and legs in all opera. As to his voice, a huge cannon's roar...

Only then can education equip people "for adapting to change" and make it possible for them to keep up dating their skills and knowledge. Such a flexible notion of education is hard to dispute. The question is whether it can be useful in transforming institutions in such radically different settings - all vis ited by the commissioners - as Zaire, Sweden, Egypt, Peru, the U.S.S.R., Cameroun...

Though the mission involves no really new maneuvers, there are technical problems to be overcome. Soviet and American spaceships have different electronic equipment, for example, and communicate over different radio frequencies; compatible gear will have to be developed. To coordinate communications further, an American flight controller will probably have to be on duty at the Soviet mission control in Tyuratam while a Russian stands by in Houston. The crews will also train together in both countries. Beyond that, the U.S. and Russia must make their craft capable of docking. The solution will be to equip them with compatible latch-rimmed...
These payments aid Portugal, either directly or indirectly, in its war against the liberation forces of Angola, Mozambique, and Guinea-Bissau. It is doubtful whether a dying colonialist power such as Portugal could afford to equip and transport 140,000 troops to fight a war in Africa which has gone on intermittently for the last 11 years without the flow of money from outside sources, such as Gulf...
