Figarocontinues to romp nightly at the Loeb. As the ads proclaim, "it's not the opera." Instead, this production is a spliced-together version of "The Barber of Seville" and "The Marriage of Figaro," two eighteenth-century French comedies. Both were written by Beaumarchais, who was somewhat of a shady character; in addition to play-writing, he smuggled French guns to American revolutionaries. "The Marriage" was quite daring for its time, since it contained a speech by the servant Figaro that lamented and raged against the privileges of the nobility--some say it hastened the onset of the French Revolution...
Schmidt's Bundestag audience was so concerned over the deteriorating relations with Washington that he stoutly had to proclaim the obvious: "West German-U.S. relations are so deeply entrenched that they cannot be uprooted by occasional differences of opinion." Schmidt then made a significant concession to Carter, who has linked eventual development of the bomb partly to Bonn's willingness to deploy it on West German soil.

From his 14th-floor corner office behind security-locked glass doors...
Billboards on the highways leading to town proclaim that Texarkana is TWICE AS NICE because it is two cities in one, but half as nice might be more accurate. An overgrown railroad junction and manufacturing town, it squats on the state line where the north Texas plains lap at the Arkansas hills. State Line Avenue, which divides the two Texarkanas, is a garish neon strip with honky-tonks and liquor outlets on the Arkansas side facing fast-food and, religious book stores on the dry Texas side. The region's wooded terrain makes it an appealing hiding place...
