...move as a first step toward diplomatic recognition. In June the European Community took a strong stand against Israel's policy of establishing new Jewish settlements in the West Bank. Then in mid-July, Arafat flew to Vienna to hold talks with Austrian Chancellor Bruno Kreisky and West German Social Democratic Party Chairman Willy Brandt. Again the Israelis blamed Bonn for countenancing the courtesy. Next month, in either Kuwait or Paris, the European Community will hold discussions with the moderate oil states led by Saudi Arabia...
...subject: some kind of arrangement to guarantee oil supplies to the Europeans and to guarantee price stability to the Arabs. Once again, the Israelis hold the West Germans chiefly responsible for the growing cooperation between Europeans and Arabs. Says an Israeli diplomat angrily: "We can't just brush aside the past." Bonn's view was that Jerusalem's reactions were largely emotional. West German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt is known to be impatient with Begin, whom he regards as holding too narrow and too rigid a position on the Palestinian question...
Born to an upper-class Jewish family in Berlin, Marcuse became a confirmed Marxist while studying at the universities of Berlin and Freiburg.

Begin, who was released from his hospital bed last week after treatment for a blood clot that has impaired his vision somewhat, is certain to rebel at any U.S. attempt to dignify the P.L.O. and bring it into the West Bank negotiations. Says...
Under Colin Graham's direction, the story-adapted from two plays by German Pre-Expressionist Frank Wedekind-unfolds in swift, biting scenes (given fine clarity by Arthur Jacobs' translation). The mysterious Lulu is a dancer, an amoral enchantress, perhaps a force of nature. She first rises through society, then falls disastrously, as lovers contend for her elusive soul and all too accessible body. Throughout the opera, a large portrait of her hangs onstage-one of Berg's many specifications that were sometimes ignored in the past...
