Ever since humans first raised their eyes to the skies and discerned a pattern in the ageless canopy of stars, we have hungered to know the secrets of time yet to come. Throughout history seers have claimed to divine the future by the alignments of heavenly bodies, by the casting of bones, by the whorls and lines and patterns of the human palm, by dregs of leaves in the bottom of a teacup, by shadows in a crystal ball and movements on a Ouija board...
...explain the Beatles. Taylor recommended playing them the album. And he explained why: "The kids of A.D. 2000 will draw from the music much the same sense of well being and warmth as we do today. For the magic of the Beatles is, I suspect, timeless and ageless. It has broken all frontiers and barriers. It has cut through differences of race, age and class. It is adored by the world...
...Time Regained has its slow spots, especially during the war years, when the prime social occasions are the funerals of those lost in either war or melancholy.

Yet this Ghost Doggy Dogg lives by the precepts in the classic Hagakure: The Way of the Samurai. He has sworn loyalty to the Mafia...
...computer animation. Eric Goldberg has a snippet set to Carnival of the Animals--flamingoes playing with yo-yos--that is giddy enough to remind you of Bob Clampett's 1943 cartoon classic A Corny Concerto. The Goldberg variation on Rhapsody in Blue is a smartly syncopated tribute to ageless caricaturist Al Hirschfeld. In the style of the NINAs that Hirschfeld hides in his drawings, the piece is crawling with furtive graffiti: a few Ninas, a "Goldberg" apartment house and, everywhere, the word Doug (a tribute to Disney layout artist Doug Walker...
