...religion (Francis Poulenc's The Dialogues of the Carmelites); to intellectual battles of the past (Paul Hindemith's The Harmony of the World, an opera about the astronomer Kepler). Last week two more noteworthy operas held the stage in East Berlin and Naples. Both are by veterans: Slovakian-born Composer Eugen Suchon, 49, and Italian Composer Renzo Rossellini, 50 (sometime music critic and brother of Film Director Roberto Rossellini).

The Polish underground movement voted him a decoration. The military division of the Polish Socialist Party was ordered to rescue him at any cost, or shoot him if they failed. They bribed a Gestapo guard and picked up Karski after he had jumped from a hospital window...
