...military expert in Iraq told TIME that some of the mustard gas has been fired at enemy targets in artillery shells, although most of it is put into large drums, loaded onto wooden pallets and then dropped from helicopters and Soviet-made 11-76 transport planes. Each pallet contains six drums and weighs about five tons. The drums burst on impact, spreading the gas over a wide area. The use of gas undoubtedly contributed to Iraq's recent victories.

Despite his lack of professional experience, Celibidache more than restores the orchestra's prewar luster. "A baton genius, beyond any doubt," declares one Berlin critic. Only his former teacher at Berlin's Hochschule...
