OSLO — American speed skating
star Eric Heiden, who won five gold
medals at the Winter Olympics,
Wednesday joined an amateur
Norwegian hockey team.
Heiden, 21, of Madison, Wis., has
not played hockey for five years and
he admitted he was having a little
trouble adjusting to skating for the
Manglerud Star first division team.
“It’s been quite some time since I
used hockey skates and I had certain
problems turning to the right,’’

Heiden said after his first practice
session.
The new club assigned Heiden the
number “5” to coincide with the
number of Olympic medals he won
at the winter Olympics in Lake Pla
cid, N.Y.

she’d expected “a Kosher ‘Bon Appe-

K d Politics is peril

nocked by the opulent opening

Prominent figures at La Scala are

tability and the slow politicization of
taly s theaters. Private financing,
specially corporate support so com-
lon in the United States, is frowned

“F left La Scala when it started
ecoming too political,” Nanni said.
iVe want to make theater, not play
alitics. That will mean the death of
h opera as we know it.
La Scala has had golden moments
the 202 years since Austrian
press Maria Teresa ordered the
ilding of the theater — the first
ring of music by Verdi, Wagner,
iccini and Mussorgsky and conduc-
J such as Arturo Toscannini.
But observers say La Scala’s days
the grand old lady of opera and
e|first theater of the world” are
unbered.
“La Scala’s reputation has de-
ped drastically over the past few
ars because of its political and

nuclear
financial situation,” Nanni said.
“Italian opera in general does not
have a very high level of credibility
right now. It was harder and harder
for me to attract foreign ‘superstars.’
They prefer not to come to Italy.
Some of those who come do so for
sentimental reasons.”
La Scala’s deep financial problems
stem from the fact that all Italian
theaters are subsidized by the state.
But the money is never enough, and
the annual amounts are usually un
certain until the 11th hour, a wait-
and-hope game which wreaks havoc
with future planning.
“The earliest you can book a well-
known singer is usually three or four
years in advance,” Nanni said. “If
you don’t know what the budget will
be, how can you offer good people
money?”
Italian union regulations have
hampered La Scala’s attempts to
stretch its budget. Musicians, sin
gers and support staff are paid
whether or not they work. From 80
percent to 90 percent of La Scala’s
average $17 million annual subsidy,
Nanni estimates, goes in salaries for
full-time staffers.
Italy’s leftist political parties,
which say theater should not be
“contaminated ’ by corporate
money, have stymied all serious
attempts to attract private financing.
“The purists and some members of
the Communist Party think private
financing would mean the prima
donna running across the stage in
Adidas jogging shoes or Coca Cola
served in paper cups during inter
mission,” said Maurizio Giammusso,
theater critic for the Milan newspap
er Corriere Della Sera.
Italian theatergoing has skyrock
eted nearly 400 percent in the past
10 years. But the increased receipts
have not been enough. The govern
ment must pay about twice each tick
et price in subsidy money.
Nanni says he had to turn down
offers of help from Italian corpora
tions because they did not go over
well politically.

The Woodstock condominiums
and why they make sense today.
Thecondominium is a time-tested great
idea. The Greeks and Romans used the
basic concept over 3,000 years ago.
Today, the Woodstock condominiums
are a beautiful example of the modern
alternate to apartment living.
Located on Highway 30, Woodstock
gives you direct access to Texas A&M
University, major shopping centers and
all sorts of recreation. Heavily wooded,
a wandering creek accents the land
scaped area.
Inside, you’ll find all the built-ins, a
fireplace, patio, balconies and a large
selection of professionally decorated
interiors to choose from, with optional
interiors that stretch the imagination.
Stop paying rent. The re-sale value of
your condominium should increase
dramatically in the next few years.
Rent is an expense - a Woodstock con
dominium is an investment.
Prices start at $42,750. Up to 95% fi
nancing is available to qualified buyers.

ing the magazine’s first year of publi
cation.
The third fa vorite, which
appeared in the February 1980
issue, covers responses of the eight
leading presidential candidates to a
questionnaire prepared by Rubin
and his staff.
In an interview, Rubin said he is
trying to respond to all readers. In
addition to the food coverage, each
issue of the magazine contains one
serious, timely article and one light
article, plus features and depart
ments.
The great Jewish athletes article
appeared in the February issue,
along with excerpts from diaries by a
group of young Americans who vi
sited Eastern European concentra
tion camps as part of a program of the
Holocaust, the Nazis’ systematic
destruction of more than six million
European Jews before and during
World War II.
The March-April, or Passover,
issue marks the first anniversary of
the magazine that began as Kosher
Home, then was renamed Kosher
Home’s Jewish Living and now is
called simply Jewish Living.
It includes includes articles about
presidential adviser Stuart E. Eizen-
stat and Mayor Dianne Feinstein of
San Francisco, plus advice on choos
ing a summer camp for children and
holiday recipes that are both tradi
tional and contemporary.
