...where local feeling runs high against foreign intervention and where the Communists themselves had pounded away hardest at U.S. involvement in Viet Nam and the Dominican Republic. Throughout Asia, Communists felt uncomfortable about the Russian actions. With the exception of Castro's party in Cuba, Latin American Communists broke with Moscow. But the most agonized reaction of all came from the Communist parties of Western Europe. In the early 1950s, the Western European parties abandoned their revolutionary tactics and went respectable. Since then, they have been trying, with only a fair amount of success, to convince voters that...

They were Thomas Garrigue Masaryk, a philosophy professor, and his colleague and ultimate successor, Eduard Bene?, who had been one of his students at Prague.

...became his lifelong friend and disciple in the cause of overthrowing tonal music. In many areas Webern took Schoenberg's innovations and carried them to logical extremes. When Schoenberg dissolved traditional tonality but continued to work with late Romantic forms, Webern dissolved those too. He obliterated vertical harmonies, broke up melodies into one-or two-note fragments for each instrument and swept away all sense of development and climax. "Once stated," he said, "a theme has expressed all it has to say." In Five Pieces for orchestra and Six Bagatelles for string quartet (both 1913), his notes are scattered...
