...escape plan was simple but to the point-Heinrich-Heine-Strasse Checkpoint, that is. Winfried Zippel, 20, an East Berlin mason and truck driver by profession, would steal a construction truck. Then he and his pal, Heinz Trochim, 21, a machinist, would crash the Wall to freedom. It being a warm summer night, the cocky pair tanked up on beer before setting out. The celebration was premature: before they had driven a single block, a pair of East German S.S.D. (State Security) cars squealed to a halt in front of them, and a clutch of cops jumped out. Beery protestations...
Died. Leonard Heinrich, 65, armor expert at Manhattan's Metropolitan Museum of Art, who in 1941, after a Pentagon call for something better than the antiquated "tin hat" helmet, designed the low-slung M-4 "steel pot," used in World War II, Korea and now in Viet Nam; of a heart attack; in Clarksville...
Unlike his recent predecessors, conductor Jack Jackson acknowledges the importance of performing rarely-heard early works. Friday's program began with the Sixth Suite of the Banchetto Musicale (1617) by Hermann Schein, a significant but neglected forerunner of Heinrich Schutz.

And one could make a nice chorale out of the notes missed by the brass (an off night for them generally). But no matter; this was charming music, realized with spirit...

From political exiles such as Poet Heinrich Heine in 1831 (Ich hatte einst ein schones Vaterland) to modern-day emigres in the Americas whose eyes fill with tears at the memory of some sooty mill town in the Ruhrgebiet, Heimat is that distant place you came from-and forever recall over beers and tears. Last week all of West Germany was aroused over the Heimat issue as political reality clashed head-on with sentiment...
Princeton kicked off the concert with an unnecessarily dull interpretation of a selection from Heinrich Schutz's "Symphoniae Sacrae I." The major portion of Princeton's first half was given to a semi-dramatic treatment of selections from the opera "Richard Coeur-de Lion" by Andre Ernest Modeste Gretry. Despite the appropriateness of the light-hearted portions they performed, the choice was unfortunate. The Princeton Glee Club did not have soloists capable of handling the piece technically, with the notable exception of Marion Sleet...
