...accidentally flown their Syrian Air Force MIG-17s into Israel 16 months ago. In an emotional scene at Lydda airport, Premier Golda Meir hugged and kissed the two returnees. The following day, Major Nissim Ashkenazi, a top combat pilot shot down over Egypt in August, and Captain Giora Rom, whose Mirage jet was hit in September, were traded for 52 Egyptian civilians, five soldiers and one air force pilot. After Ashkenazi's return, Israeli officials reported that the pilot had been severely tortured by his Cairo captors, and suffered several broken bones...

Highpoints: George Shirley's rocketlike traversal of Fuor del mar-a crippling catalogue of coloratura devices -and Elettra's two arias sung by Pauline Tinsley, a British dramatic soprano whose voice has an electric radiance that recalls Ina Souez and Ljuba Welitsch at their best...

Dornier designed the world's first metal airplane in 1911, built thousands of bombers and fighters in both world wars, and in recent years experimented with a series of novel vertical takeoff and landing craft. But his greatest fame still stems from the mammoth DO-X flying boat built in 1929. It had twelve engines, a wingspan of 157 ft. and a passenger capacity of 169. Uneconomic though...
