Cavalli: L'Ormindo (Argo). Something practically unheard-of: an authentic, workable masterpiece miraculously retrieved from the past. One of the 17th century Venetian composers influenced by Monteverdi, Francesco Cavalli wrote melodiously, with great penetration into the personal relationships of his characters.

Earlier, there were almost-unheard-of wildcat strikes by West Berlin bus and subway employees, Ruhr steelworkers and Saar coal miners. > In France, the trains, subways and buses began rolling again after a week of wildcat strikes. But almost immediately, unofficial stoppages happened at random from the Channel to the Italian border, and 10,000 employees at the huge Renault...
