...Lionel Trilling’s 1950 classic, “The Liberal Imagination.” Writing an introduction to a posthumous collection of Trilling’s essays in 2000, Leon Wieseltier praised the literary critic—along with theologian Reinhold Niebuhr and intellectual historian Isaiah Berlin??for remaining clear-eyed in dark times, a “rationalist with night vision.” It’s worth noting that David Brooks also invokes Niebuhr in a New York Times column this week discussing Obama’s “Christian realism...

The peaceful wind chimes that open the song lead into a heartbeat’s thump and grave chords strikingly similar to those in Berlin??s “Take My Breath Away.” The vocals move through the song like mist over a still lake, and Air’s dreamy trance hits a fever pitch. While “Pocket Symphony” is by no means...
