...Especially the American one. Starting with the 50th anniversary of D-day in 1994, the U.S. has been awash with a wave of books, films and remembrances of the "Good War" and those who fought in it. The European theater got its respect first, notably in Steven Spielberg's 1998 Saving Private Ryan, but the war in the Pacific and its aftermath is getting its own. In addition to Pearl Harbor, we have seen two recent Pulitzer prize-winning histories?Herbert P. Bix's biography of Hirohito and John W. Dower's magnificent analysis of Japan's postwar reconstruction...

...sake of my mental health than anything else. I figured the cure for my fiendish malaise would be easy to find at a company still worth billions in the wake of the tech crash, a company that recently spawned its own U.S. Senator (Maria Cantwell, the famous 50th Democrat and a former Real Jukebox product manager). All I'd have to do was look hard enough among the foosball tables and Odwalla juice fridges of this former cannery building.

...Boston Symphony Orchestra (BSO) in 1930. That year was a particularly important one for the BSO, which also commissioned Hanson’s “Romantic” Symphony, Copland’s Symphonic Ode, and Roussel’s Third Symphony, among other pieces, to celebrate its 50th anniversary.
