...Israel was his Sunday meeting with Begin and senior members of the Premier's Cabinet. There Carter formally presented Sadat's objections to the U.S compromise. And once again Carter, assisted by Vance, sought to bridge the not yet publicly disclosed Egyptian-Israeli differences. Certainly Carter pressed strongly the note he had sounded so firmly the night before: "It would be a tragedy to turn away from the path of peace after having come...
...most of the towns surrounding Boston celebrate the spring by holding town meetings, an annual custom as old as the first settlements in the area. And if you're a government student bored of hearing professors drone on about "pure democracy" that's a fact you should take note...
Sellon informs the audience in an "Author's Note" that his show is not supposed to be original. The characters are "blissful stereotypes all," the note says. The note's existence points to the major flaw in Sellon's directing: He is not secure enough to let the audience find things funny without prodding, and he doesn't understand that even stereotypes need life breathed into them.

The whole of Lulu is based on a single twelve-tone row, which is Lulu's theme. All of the opera's other themes, accompaniments and leitmotifs are derived from endlessly ingenious extrapolations, inversions, retrogrades and other variations of the original row. These in turn are rigorously organized in a series of traditional forms. There is an extensive sonata structure in Lulu's scenes with...
