...Leonid Lavrovsky, who worked closely with Prokofiev. This is the composer's best ballet music: rich, copiously dramatic, with a sunny spiritual radiance in the love scenes. Cranko set it first for the ballet of La Scala in 1958 and four years later for his own fledgling troupe, the Stuttgart Ballet. He was able to show off his inexperienced dancers without exposing their deficiencies with anything too intricate. That approach well suits the Joffrey youngsters, whose average...
...settles into the work. Right now the dancers have absurd ideas of rich life in the Renaissance. The men strut and pose, the ladies arch their backs so radically that they look poised for a back flip. An exception is Gerel Hilding, whose Tybalt has genuine authority.

...Hugo Boss is the name of a fast-growing company with headquarters not in the fashion capitals of Paris and Milan but in the small West German town of Metzingen, 19 miles from Stuttgart.

Stuttgart Mayor Manfred Rommel, whose father Field Marshall Erwin Rommel commanded the German Atlantic defenses, called D-day "one of the various great defeats in history." But Rommel felt no sense of slight. Reminding West Germans that "it was better to lose the war with Hitler than to win it with Hitler...
...West Germany collected the matériel, erased all the U.S. markings, then sent it to a CIA installation near Stuttgart. There the mines were wrapped in special shock-absorbent material and packed in lightweight, waterproof, steel shipping boxes. The crates were stuffed with telephone wires and batteries; their contents were described as telephone equipment for a religious organization...
