...Russians off their back." In a recent interview with Paris' Le Monde, Neto declared that he does not want Angola to become a Russian satellite "just because the Soviet Union supplies us with weapons." One helpful first step would be to persuade the South Africans to withdraw their forces from the conflict. Last week there were renewed efforts by the U.S., Britain and Zambia to do just that.

" However one cared to put it, the lines were drawn last week for a possibly fateful labor struggle at New York's Metropolitan Opera. Since he was appointed executive director a year ago, Anthony A. Bliss, 62, has been negotiating with the 14 artistic and craft unions at the Met over new contracts. All have been performing since the summer under contract extensions that expire...
