...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...
...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.

Historian Hans-Adolf Jacobsen told the viewers that a major German failure in 1944 in bad intelligence, the Allied Invadors were expected to strike in the Pas-de-Calais, not in Normandy. 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...
