...production is conservative, which is not surprising. Allegorical reinterpretation, the rage in Europe, strikes no sympathetic chords at Lincoln Center, where an earnest conventionality prevails. Schenk and Schneider- Siemssen staged the Met's highly regarded 1977 Tannhauser, a glowing, romantic evocation of the Thuringian countryside, with a sharp eye for naturalistic detail, and their Die Walkure is in the same tradition. Hunding's rude hut in Act I is an enormous wooden lodge, with an imposing tree growing in its center, while the landscapes of Acts II and III are rocky and forbidding. They are not so much sets...
...Bach's memorabilia are largely confined to his scores, letters and other documents. There is only one authenticated portrait of the man, and his birthplace on the Lutherstrasse in the hilly Thuringian mining town of Eisenach was destroyed long ago.

The Red Party bosses of East Germany had promised Dr. Schultze time and again that his children could go to universities, and time and again reneged. Early this month - like more than 3,300 other doctors since 1954 - Dr. Schultze slipped over the nearby border into West Germany with his family. His flight left Hildburghausen (pop. 65,000) with only one private physician...
...Soviets now have about 100 major operational missile bases in a crescent extending from the White Sea down to the Baltic Coast to former Koenigsberg, and on into the Southern Ukraine and the Carpathians, with some forward launching sites in the Thuringian forest of East Germany...
