When the generals wanted to explain their crackdown to the West Germans, Rakowski was naturally the man they sent to Bonn. Martial law, he said, was necessary to prevent the outbreak within "a matter of weeks" of a civil war that would have provoked a Soviet invasion. Stern Publisher Henri Nannen, who has known Rakowski for twelve years, considered his explanation sincere, and an American diplomat described him as a "man of integrity." In contrast, a respected West German analyst notes that Rakowski has a "weakness for ambition" and "always knows which way the wind blows." One British expert points...

...Nord, the drama has more power than it possibly could in a 3,000-seat opera house. Brook has chosen his singers as much for their acting skills as for their voices. By tightening the plot he creates dramatic situations beyond anything envisioned by Bizet's librettists (Henri Meilhac and Ludovic Halévy) or even by Mérim&233;e. In this version, Carmen and Micaela, Don José's girlfriend from back home, are direct rivals and have a real fight when Carmen carves a bloody cross on Micaela's forehead...
