Khomeini's demagoguery notwithstanding, even after that slaughter, the total number of the Shah's victims simply cannot be compared to the millions killed by Hitler and Stalin; nor can the tenor of his regime be likened to that of Hitler's Germany or Stalin's Soviet Union. Even among contemporary despots, the Shah is not the worst. One prominent member of the International Commission of Jurists classifies the Shah as in a "second league" of tyrants, below Uganda's Idi Amin, Cambodia's Pol Pot and Central African Emperor Jean Bokassa...

Bass player Timothy B. Schmit, a former member of Poco who replaces Meisner, adds a new dimension to the Eagles, tempering the fury of The Long Run with his romantic "I Can't Tell You Why." Schmit's haunting tenor elevates run-of-the-mill lyrics to a sensitive, convincing level. In fact, the cut epitomizes what makes the good songs on this album click: they're from the heart, reflecting the experience and professionalism of the band members--they indicate the Eagles' ability to work creatively witnin the framework of their talents...

Luciano Pavarotti is the finest operatic tenor since Jussi Bjoerling, if not since the legendary Enrico Caruso. Ah, but you have to hear Pavarotti in concert. When all 300 Ibs. of him were here in our lovely Music Hall, the city fathers were concerned that the stomping of those in the balconies might cause the balconies to collapse...

...Tenor Placido Domingo was masterly in his first Otello in New York (he has performed it 40 times elsewhere and recorded it for RCA). Dramatically, he projected a strong warrior but a vulnerable man, a noble nature whose obliviousness to evil turned all his strengths-his depth of feeling, his decisiveness, his simplicity-to fatal weaknesses. The cruelly demanding role requires Otello to sing full-out the moment he walks onstage, with the famous cry of triumph, Esultate!, and scarcely ever allows him to let up thereafter. Domingo's voice was exhilaratingly equal to it all-dark and thrusting...
