...Threepenny Opera originated as a leftist diatribe, and is even more of one in John Dexter's snarly, airless staging. Michael Feingold's translation claims to reflect more authentically the 1928 Berlin debut than the Marc Blitzstein version popularized in the '50s. It is surely less effective.

"They were both beside the point. It was necessary to put aside pity; to look to the center; to abandon selflessness; to study power...
...titles belong to the literature of testimony-The Holocaust Kingdom by Alexander Donat (361 pages; $8.95, paperback) typically records the last days of the Warsaw ghetto and the will of a child to appeal the world's sentence of death. The Politics of Rescue by Henry L. Feingold (416 pages; $7.95, paperback) revives the long-dormant question: How could the democracies of the West refuse to admit people whose need for sanctuary was a matter of life and death? In this expanded and updated edition, Historian Feingold sifts through the memorandums of state departments to find that guilt...
