INTERNATIONAL 3-14 France Says It Is Ready To Step In on Airline Strike Prime Minister Lionel Jospin of France said his Government was ready to step in and push Air France pilots and management to settle a strike that has grounded most of the airline's flights just as hundreds of thousands of soccer fans begin pouring into the country for the World Cup soccer tournament, which starts Wednesday. The strike began last Monday, and negotiations broke off early yesterday morning. 10 Hope Dim on Africa's Horn President Isaias Afewerki of Eritrea said he held out little hope of peace with Ethiopia as the two countries continued their border war on the Horn of Africa. As both sides shot down aircraft in fighting, Ethiopia said it would cease attacks for 13 hours to allow foreigners to leave Asmara, its rival's capital. 8 Serbs Continue Kosovo Attacks Serbian security forces continued their assault against Albanian separatists in the province of Kosovo in western Yugoslavia. The fighting occurred as President Clinton was expected to decide on Monday whether to reimpose sanctions on the Serbs for the violence against Kosovo's ethnic Albanians, who are fighting for independence from Serbia. 8 Germ Threat From Iraq A new book reports that just before the start of the 1991 Persian Gulf war the American military discovered that Iraqi soldiers had immunity to anthrax, heightening fears that Baghdad was preparing to wage germ warfare. The book, by the investigative reporter Seymour M. Hersh, says the finding helped accelerate the Pentagon's crash program that led to the vaccination of some 150,000 soldiers before the war. 6 NATIONAL 16-22 Major Failures Reported On Air and Water Laws Widespread failures by Federal and local officials in several states to police even the most basic requirements of the nation's clean air and water laws have been documented by the inspector general of the Environmental Protection Agency. In a series of reports, the environmental agency's independent auditing arm blames both Federal and state officials for the shortcomings. 1 Starr's Other Pursuit Kenneth W. Starr's effort to bring White House aides and Secret Service agents before his grand jury has provided much of the recent legal drama in Washington. But it is his pursuit of notes from a lawyer's interview with a man who has been dead nearly five years that, of all the disputes surrounding the independent counsel's investigation, could ultimately matter most to anyone who has ever consulted a lawyer about a potentially embarrassing problem. 1 Poor County Turns to Candy Bar Officials in Virginia's Henry County, one of that state's poorest, rather than watch another manufacturing site turn hollow, have embarked on an ambitious program to shape the future for thousands of young and old in the region. And much of the effort depends on a candy bar. 16 Quiet Test for Census Bureau While Republicans and Democrats argue the legality and the merits of the Census Bureau's plan to change the way it will conduct the country's head count in the year 2000, the bureau is quietly -- and, it says, successfully -- testing that new method in California's ethnically and economically diverse capital city, Sacramento. 22 NEW YORK 25-33 Families' Health Care Burden In a fundamental shift in health care, families are performing an unprecedented amount of technical medical care in their homes, much of which would once have been provided by doctors or nurses alone. 1 A Gathering of the Brave Arriving from every corner of the country, the 78 military heroes who gathered in Saratoga Springs, N.Y. this weekend represented almost half of the 169 living recipients of the Medal of Honor, the nation's highest military award for bravery. They had chosen Saratoga Springs for their convention because of the town's rich military history, and yesterday they paraded to the cheers of more than 30,000 people. 1 FRESH AIR FUND 30 OBITUARIES 35 Television 33 Weather 32

INTERNATIONAL A3-8 Hardest Hit by Asia Crisis Are Those at the Margins The most common and desperate victims of the Asian financial crisis have been those already at the margins of society -- those who had almost nothing before and who now, somehow, have even less. Reports from aid workers and anecdotal evidence suggest significant increases in death rates, school dropouts and malnutrition. Some experts say that the legacy of the crisis will be felt long after the region's economies are purring again. A1 Tale of Two Cities in Italy Pompeii, the famed Italian town that holds both ancient ruins and a religious shrine, is expecting an infusion of money and visitors as the millennium approaches. But the prospect is inflaming a longstanding rift between two sides of the town -- one crawling with tourists, guides, and archeologists, and the other where the unemployment rate is 30 percent and stray dogs sleep in the sun. A4 Serb Leader Allows Observers President Slobodan Milosevic of Yugoslavia has agreed to allow diplomatic observers to enter and move through the province of Kosovo, where Serbian troops and policemen have been attacking the ethnic Albanian majority, senior Administration officials said. In Kosovo, members of the rebel Kosovo Liberation Army said Serbian troops were removing bodies from areas observers might visit and concealing other evidence of their attacks. A3 Swiss Reject Research Limits Swiss voters decisively rejected a ballot measure to place broad restrictions on biomedical and other research involving genetically modified animals. A6 Mexican Labor Strengthens A modestly successful strike by Mexican flight attendants suggests that after nearly two decades of falling wages some workers want to lodge more aggressive demands. A6 Bomb Kills 23 on Pakistan Train A bomb exploded on a crowded railroad train in southern Pakistan, killing 23 people, and the Pakistani Government immediately blamed Indian secret agents. The Pakistani Minister of information, Mushahid Hussain, said his Government would provide ''hard proof'' of Indian involvement. Indian officials denied the accusation. A5 NATIONAL A10-19 National Rifle Association Opens Publicity Offensive Weary of being seen as an extremist, right-wing organization, the National Rifle Association is going on the offensive with the expected election of Charlton Heston as its next president and a slick new advertising campaign that is starting later this month. The country's largest gun-owners' organization contended at its annual convention in Philadelphia that lazy prosecutors, lenient judges, gratuitous television violence and irresponsible parents cause more problems than guns. A1 High Temperature Records Fall The White House will announce that according to an analysis by Government scientists, El Nino joined the continuing warming trend to break global temperature records in each of the first five months of 1998. A1 Abortion Report is Rejected A team of Rutgers University researchers hired by New Jersey to examine the effects of the state's new welfare policy found that it has contributed to an increase in abortions, but the state has rejected the findings, and asked for revisions of the report. A10 Western Manhunt Scaled Back The police reopened the town of Bluff, Utah, to outside traffic and said they would cut back their search for two armed fugitives suspected in the killing of a police officer. A10 Senator Sees Chinese Plot The chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee said that testimony to the panel last week in closed session showed that the Chinese Government had planned to influence the 1996 election. But Senator Richard Shelby, an Alabama Republican, added that it remained unclear whether the efforts were carried out. A14 Religious Leaders Lobby Clinton From Tibetan Buddhists to Roman Catholics to evangelical Christians, a broad array of religious leaders is urging President Clinton to press the Chinese Government to end the repression of believers there. A17 A Boon to Florida G.O.P. Since 1995, when Florida's Democratic governor sued major cigarette companies, the tobacco industry has contributed $592,000 to the Florida Republican Party, more than twice what it gave to the state's Democrats. The industry also sprinkled donations among friendly state legislators, many of whom opposed Florida's lawsuit. A16 Families Bear a Big Share Of Cost of Care for Elderly Some elderly people and their families are being caught in the gap between the costs of long-term care and the limited amount of Government aid to pay for it. Fedele Capozzi, 85, sold his house in Philadelphia and recently exhausted his saving paying for care for his wife, Elvira, who is 83 and has Alzheimer's disease. A18 NEW YORK B1-12 Giuliani Policy Will Force Disabled Mothers to Work In an ambitious and controversial effort to boost the number of welfare recipients participating in New York City's workfare program, Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani will soon begin requiring physically and mentally disabled mothers to work for their welfare checks. The new policy began quietly this weekend. A1 Insurance an Issue for Pataki The high cost of auto insurance, an issue that nearly cost Gov. Christine Todd Whitman of New Jersey her job last year, appears on the verge of becoming a major theme in New York's campaign for governor, with Democrats blaming Gov. George E. Pataki for high rates. B1 Juror Talks of Death Sentence One of the jurors who concluded that Darrel K. Harris should be the first man sentenced to death in the city since 1963 said she reached her decision after turning to her Bible. A1 The constitutionality of the state's untested 1995 capital punishment law and what the defense considers a judge's flawed conduct of the murder trial of Darrel K. Harris will be the focus of his appeal, his chief trial lawyer and legal experts said. B4 'Lion King' Wins Tony ''The Lion King,'' a daring mix of experimental techniques with a familiar story that was a critical success and a smashing financial one for the Walt Disney Company, won the Tony Award for best musical. ''Art,'' a three-character comedy about Parisian men whose disagreement over a Minimalist painting jostles loose half-buried fissures in their friendship, won the Tony for best play.

B12 BUSINESS DAY D1-12 Life Insurance Companies Confront Free Fall in Sales Americans are living longer and, worried about money for retirement, millions are either doing without life insurance or buying less of it. The shift in attitudes has sent life insurance sales into something of a free fall and radically changed how insurance companies do business. A1 Intel Vows to Fight Lawsuit The Federal Trade Commission is expected to file a major antitrust lawsuit against the Intel Corporation, and Intel executives and lawyers, saying the very future of the company is at stake, have vowed to fight the suit vigorously. D1 Not Ready for Prime Time After more than a decade of planning, digital high-definition television broadcasts are to begin in just a few months, and so is the sale of HDTV sets. But the television industry is now conceding that most people who buy one of these expensive new sets may face considerable difficulty actually seeing the new crystal-clear programming, because the first digital sets will be incapable of receiving it via cable.

Is Headline Opera Yesterday's News?
Date: 07 June 1998
By David Schiff
David Schiff
THE fad for headline opera, a genre that began so promisingly in 1987 with John Adams's ''Nixon in China'' and fizzled last year with Michael Daugherty's ''Jackie O,'' seems to have passed. Breathe a sigh of relief, knowing that we have been spared operas based on O.J., Tonya and Paula. Yet a new recording of ''Harvey Milk'' (Teldec 0630-15856-2; two CD's), with music by Stewart Wallace and libretto by Michael Korie, shows that the attempt to link the opera house to the nightly news may have been a missed opportunity rather than a cynical marketing strategy. Sensationalism did not kill headline opera; opera has always thrived on shock. It was the dead hand of operatic tradition that undermined the attempt to give opera a contemporary relevance.

THE 14 members of the Harlem Gospel Singers were already swaying and clapping in their blue robes when Queen Esther Marrow threaded her way through the audience. ''Come by Here, Lord,'' she sang joyously as she made her way onto the stage at the Mogador Theater in Paris. As the music intensified through numbers ranging from ''Angels Watching Over Me'' to ''Higher and Higher,'' so did the emotion. Over the last six years, this scene, featured in a recent PBS special, ''From New York to Paris, Starring Queen Esther Marrow and the Harlem Gospel Singers,'' has been repeated in cities all over Europe, where two million people have seen Ms. Marrow and the choir perform. Last September, at a concert before the Pope, 300,000 filled the Holy Year Celebration Sulla Strada in Bologna, Italy, to hear their jubilant mixture of gospel, jazz and blues.
