...suspected terrorists, Stefano Petrella and Ennio di Rocco, were arrested near Rome's famed Spanish Steps. Those arrests led to raids on three Rome apartments, where police turned up Brigades documents and weapons and ten more Red Brigades members, including Giovanni Senzani, a former criminologist who became leader of the Brigades' Rome column. Less than two weeks later, after a bank robbery in Siena, police arrested two members of an ultramilitant Red Brigades splinter group called Prima Linea, or Front Line. Those arrests in turn led to the discovery of a secret Rome hideout, which, remarkably, was used...

The remarkable P.D. James has a full-time job in the criminal division of Britain's Home Office.

...work was something of a dud-somber, repetitive, unnecessarily difficult to sing. But as exciting theater, the bloodthirsty Agamemnon legend is hard to beat, and Wallmann did not try: instead she moved her chorus in a plastic combination of Greek tragedy and modern ballet, guided Star Soprano Clara Petrella in a performance of icy majesty, and won unanimous critical acclaim for what Milan's Corriere d'Informazione called "a stupendous visual WESTRICH spectacle, austere, but graced with Wallmann's customary taste and knowledge...
