Although the Iron Curtain is less rigid than it used to be, Western newsmen are still welcomed cautiously in East Germany. After arriving in Leipzig, 90 miles southwest of the Berlin Wall, Chief European Correspondent William Rademaekers and Bonn Bureau Chief Bruce Nelan discovered that their time was not to be entirely their own. "The authorities," Rademaekers says, "had organized a togetherness program stretching over two weeks." Reluctantly, G.D.R. officials gave in to the correspondents' request to split up: Rademaekers traveled east to the Polish border, while Nelan went as far south as "Saxon Switzerland" near the Czech border...
Mendelssohn did not have to work, but his family believed in industry. Declining a permanent chair at the university in Berlin, Felix in 1835 took a paying post as music director of the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra. Dictatorial, high-strung and charismatic, Mendelssohn demanded absolute obedience from his players and in the process raised the level of orchestral playing in Leipzig, Germany, and throughout Europe to new highs. He also changed the entire look of German symphonic life by using Mozart and Beethoven as the backbone of the repertory (instead of local celebrities like Anton Eberl and Karl Reissiger). Haydn...
Real Love. Mendelssohn was one of those annoying people who seem to find time for everything. The 7,000 letters he wrote in his brief lifetime are proof enough of that. While he was settling in comfortably at Leipzig, he also began to branch out in many musical directions. Guest-conducting engagements took him all over Europe. In 1842 he founded the Leipzig Conservatory. He founded festivals. He played, he taught, he administered, he composed. He also devoted much time to the charming of ladies, in ways that apparently did not develop into bona fide affairs. The real love...
...Houston, reported on various aspects of the tragedy. From Paris, William Rademaekers, chief European correspondent, flew to Bonn to cover West German government reaction and to coordinate coverage. European Correspondent David Tinnin, who had also been in Paris, and Bonn Bureau Chief Bruce Nelan, who had been attending the Leipzig Trade Fair in East Germany, rushed to Munich. There, together with Bonn Correspondent Gisela Bolte, one of TIME'S four-member Olympic staff, they worked their way through interviews and press conferences to untangle the maze of conflicting statements, false reports and after-the-fact apologies...
...Miss Davis was released on bail, East Germans took undue credit for springing her. East German children study about Angela in school. Students and youth groups collect money for her defense fund. In cities across the country, billboard posters and banners repeat one demand: Freedom for Angela. At the Leipzig Fair, one of Europe's oldest industrial exhibitions, the East Germans have put up a large display about Angela in the modernistic information center. Visitors are requested to sign a petition calling for Angela's release and to make a contribution. Hardly a day goes by that Neues...
