...lifetime, nor at all until 1972, early on in the current Joplin revival. Last May it was presented by the Houston Grand Opera, with new orchestrations by Composer Gunther Schuller and choreography by Louis Johnson. So successful was the production, directed by Frank Corsaro, that it has been transported intact to Washing ton's Kennedy Center for a three-week run. Later this month it will open on Broadway at the Uris Theatre...
...light on the conventions of Edwardian England. Much of the fun in Upstairs, Downstairs has been in seeing precisely how guests and hosts conducted a country-house weekend, for example, or how a solicitor maneuvered to blunt the family's democratic impulses and thus keep the class system intact for a few weeks more. That sort of dry, deft social management is nowhere present in Beacon Hill...
...Argentine town of Pilar, some 25 miles northwest of Buenos Aires. Miraculously un-charred, however, were documents that enabled the Argentine police to identify the corpses as those of two Chilean students-Jaime Robotham Bravo, 24, and Luis Guendelman Wisniak, 26, neither of them very active politically. Also conveniently intact was a placard attached to the bodies that said the students had been "executed by the MIR," the Chilean revolutionary leftist movement. The Chilean press has quoted government officials as saying that it was not DINA agents who had been kidnaping leftists but Marxist revolutionaries cunningly impersonating DINA agents...

The Final Act, signed in an unostentatious ceremony on June 9, 1815, created what Castlereagh called "a great machine of European safety" that was to endure, more or less intact, for 40 years. It was a supremely conservative document, reflecting its signatories' belief that aristocratic authority would ensure stability, and that the then radical ideas about liberalism, democracy and nationalism would lead inevitably to chaos. It was that conservative consensus that enabled Metternich and company to subordinate their differences...
...whether he sees any application of the Nuremberg principles to the U.S. role in Viet Nam, he answers: "It is not for the judged to judge the judge." Even though Speer is the only ranking Nazi to emerge from the rubble of the Third Reich with his dignity somewhat intact, it is unlikely that he will ever free himself completely from the opprobrium of having been so dedicated a servant of Nazism. When it was discovered in 1971, for example, that he had taken a hiking trip to Norway, Oslo promptly declared rum persona non grata...
