...have canceled his trip to West Germany, but last week he made it to Addis Ababa, where the flag flying over Revolution Square had more comforting look: red and emblazoned with the hammer and sickle. Honecker was in the Ethiopian capital with Soviet Politburo Member Grigory Romanov at a three-hour parade to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the military coup that overthrew former Emperor Haile Selassie. Dominating the scene was a towering portrait of Ethiopian Leader Lieut. Colonel Mengistu Haile Mariam, 43, the U.S.-trained soldier who had just been chosen Secretary-General of the Workers Party of Ethiopia...
Nervous, but not scared, or hiding anything. Conventioneers will be offered a three-hour tour ranging from preppy Southern Methodist University to single-family ghetto homes, from the J.F.K. assassination site to the astonishing wealth of Turtle Creek.

WARREN'S WEAKNESS, HOWEVER, does not hamper the rest of the performers, who, with their loud resounding voices and melodramatic characterizations convey Don Giovanni's licentiousness. Their hatred, and not Giovanni himself, provides the momentum for the three-hour production. As Donna Anna, whose father Giovanni killed after failing to seduce the daughter, Anita Ashur conveys brilliantly her character's maniacal desire for revenge through her vibrantly loud voice. Ashur's clearly enunciated voice has a spectacular range, and even during songs with the ensemble, her voice stands...
