...finally abandoned all attempts at stylistic harmony in his design for the New State Gallery in Stuttgart, which opened last year. The exquisitely proportioned classic entrance hall is assaulted by a bilious green Pirelli rubber floor covering and the gaudily painted steel frame of the elevator shaft. The circular interior courtyard, with sensuous marble nymphs basking in the glow of golden travertine and sandstone walls, is assaulted by vulgar pink and blue pipes that serve as handrails for a spiraling ramp...
...three weeks his latest opera, Akhnaten, gets its British premiere at the English National Opera in London. Akhnaten received its first performance last year in Stuttgart, and has since played to packed houses in Houston and New York City. An earlier full-length opera, Satyagraha, which has had several productions in the U.S. and Europe, has been recorded by CBS Masterworks for release in July; Beverly Sills, a confirmed fan, has scheduled it for the New York City Opera next year.

"Must not forget to get tickets for the Olympic Games for Eva Braun," read one 1936 entry. "On my feet all day long," complained the Fuhrer in another...
...pylons at a nuclear-power plant near Hamburg were damaged by explosives. Also last week a suspected Red Army Faction member, Johannes Thimme, 28, became the first casualty of the new terror campaign: he was killed when a bomb he was carrying in a baby carriage detonated prematurely in Stuttgart...
