...Kepler). Last week two more noteworthy operas held the stage in East Berlin and Naples. Both are by veterans: Slovakian-born Composer Eugen Suchon, 49, and Italian Composer Renzo Rossellini, 50 (sometime music critic and brother of Film Director Roberto Rossellini). Both works are coincidentally and aptly titled The Vortex, but the conflicts they describe are significantly different.

"This is some weather," he growled to his military and naval aides, hankering back to the vacation he had just cut short in sunny Thomasville, Ga. As he sped off downtown to the White House, Ike huddled down into his tan raincoat, reached often into his left coat pocket for a handkerchief...
