Blatant Soviet aggression is not likely to be the source of any instability in the near future. The importance of the Gulf region to the West has long been implicit in American policy; the Soviets did not need presidential envoy Clark Clifford in New Delhi or Carter in Washington to say so. The new, "hawkish" leaders in the Kremlin (if indeed they have taken over from the doddering Brezhnev) must realize that further military moves in the area would court a global conflict. Even Henry Kissinger recognizes that the Soviets, no matter how devious they are, will hesitate before taking...
...morally certain" that the court's conference room had been bugged. In a famous 1965 decision striking down a Connecticut law that banned the use of contraceptives, Douglas stated that whether or not one uses contraceptives is a private matter and that a right to privacy is implicit in the Constitution. No friend of the IRS, he consistently used the Bill of Rights to curtail the reach of the taxman by protecting private financial records from Government scrutiny...

Despite the musical ambition implicit in the international cast and the Paris Opera name (Bergman used an all-Swedish cast for his Magic Flute), this Don Giovanni is musically undistinguished. Lorin Maazel's conducting sounds muddy and sluggish throughout--which could easily be the fault of the Exeter Street's Rocky Horror-blasted sound system. None of the singers does very much of the ornamentation most music scholars today believe was a critical part of performances in the composer's time. Most of all, there's a surprisingly lackadaisical air about Mozart's music as Losey presents it--as though...
