...invaders quickly identified themselves as members of Black September, the Palestinian guerrilla group that murdered eleven Israelis at the Munich Olympics last summer. Holding a sort of mock court in which the captives were judged according to their country's attitude toward the Palestinian cause, they singled out as hostages the two Americans, Noel and Moore (whom they bound and beat), Belgian Eid, Saudi Host Al Malhouk and Jordanian Chargé d'Affaires Adly al Nasser. The choices did not make complete sense. Though the U.S. and Jordan have strongly opposed the Palestinian guerrilla movement, Saudi Arabia...
...stage for intimate performances of small-scale works unsuited to a 3,800-seat house, with the dual purpose of providing young artists with wider exposure while attracting audiences not smitten with standard repertory. But lacking a convenient junior theater like Milan's 600-seat Piccolo Scala or Munich's 500-seat Cuvillies Theater, and with no money to build one, the plan lay gathering dust until last spring, when Bing's successor, Göran Gentele, took it up. Gentele's plan to use the Juilliard School Opera Theater fell through, but the Lincoln Center...
...last four films (the only ones even he admits are worth talking about) are explicitly political in subject matter: the Nazification of Germany (Munich 1938); the mass demystification of America in the wake of Cambodia (America Revisited); a French town's response to German occupation (Sorrow and Pity); and the hellish political situation in Northern Ireland (A Sense of Loss).

MOURNING the eleven Israelis who were murdered by Arab guerrillas of the Black September movement at the Munich Olympics last fall, Premier Golda Meir promised a war to avenge them. Israel, she said, would fight "with assiduity and skill" on a "farflung, dangerous and vital front line." Mrs. Meir never explained where that front line was to be, but it is now becoming ominously evident. Across Europe and the Middle East, Israeli intelligence agents and Palestinian Arabs are fighting an ugly, deadly battle of attrition. For each, the targets and victims are the other side's suspected spies...
...Sorrow and The Pity, a four-hour documentary dealing with the occupation of France during World War II, won Ophuls widespread recognition in this country. Its prelude, never before shown, will be screened on Wednesday under the title "Munich, ou la Paix pour Cent Ans." Meanwhile, Ophuls's latest production, Sense of Loss, about conflict in Northern Ireland, will be showing commercially at the Central Cinema...
