...historical problem of the life of Jesus, as tackled by scholars from David Friedrich Strauss in 1835 to Albert Schweitzer and De-Mythologizer Rudolf Bultmann, is that the evidence for the empty tomb and the Resurrection comes from divergent Gospel accounts. Bultmann asserted that the Resurrection is not a historical event and is "nothing other than faith in the cross as the salvation event." Schweitzer rejected both the empty tomb and the Resurrection as legendary, stressing that they were unnecessary to the truths proclaimed by Jesus in his teachings. Schonfield claims that as a Jew he has no need...
...easy for the flag to follow the trade. Just before last September's elections, Schroder hinted that he would like to see West German missions in East European countries elevated to embassies-and was quickly shouted down by Bavaria's Conservative Leader Franz Josef Strauss. Blessed with the backing of C.D.U. Chairman Konrad Adenauer, Strauss still has it in for Schroder for his role in the 1962 Spiegel affair, which cost Strauss his job as Defense Minister.

Recently, he expressed the government's view on the church memorandum: "We must not abandon or weaken our position in regard to the German eastern territories," he said, "unless there is a relation to the reunification problem." His colleague in the C.D.U., Hamburg Party Chairman Erik Blumenfeld, went a long step farther.

The composer captures both his hero's dynamism, in several ingenious climaxes where themes of Don and his women intertwine, and his pathos, in the eerie and mystical close...
Less excusable was the orchestra's refusal to play a true pianissimo, depriving Strauss's tragic chord of most of its mystery. And often inflections betrayed caution and over-literalness, such as in the excessively elongated eighths of the horn-calls. Fortunately Don Juan is a rondo, which means that what goes wrong the first time can be corrected the next: The intonation of the violins and the precision of the brasses both improved rapidly...
