...premiere in Leipzig, its jazzy score and slangy libretto, combined with Nazi-inspired resentment of its Jewish composer and its left-wing theme, touched off one of the worst riots in the history of the German theater. Rarely performed since then, Mahagonny was revived last week by the Heidelberg Municipal Theater in a stark and moving production...
After getting an A.B. at Yale, he briefly tried selling real estate (he flopped), went to Harvard to try for a Ph.D. in English. He started a thesis on the origin of genders, worked two years before he found that a student at Heidelberg had long since done the subject with unimprovable thoroughness.

"Some of them may be odd in the American sense of the word, or lone wolves," says one professor. "But they are all wide awake and intelligent-the kind of student a European professor likes. They are more critical than our students, always ask questions and work very hard...
