Most people believe that the caesarean operation is so named because Julius Caesar was born that way. Most people are wrong. Julius had a normal delivery, but he is linked to that operation because an early ancestor, Scipio Africanus, was excised from his mother's dead body. To mark his miraculous birth, Scipio's father called him "the cut-out one"-or in Latin, Caesar. Actually, the operation predates even the first Caesar by centuries. It is one of the oldest on record, but was performed only after the mother had died. The first known caesarean...

...Caesar. Churchman Krogager keeps God's business and Caesar's nicely separated. Technically, he is only a consultant to Tjaereborg, though he has the consent of his bishop and elders to consult as much as he wants.

When Caesar's ghost appears to Brutus, Tharon Musser's eerie lighting makes it quite unnecessary to add the off-stage roll on the cymbal. And must we have another crude cymbal roll when Brutus runs on his sword? As a background to the aura of death at Philippi, Susa has also introduced on the harp an ostinato pattern from the Dies irae plainchant, which recalls the identical ostinato near the end of Rachmaninoff's tone-poem Isle of the Dead. At any rate, I suspect that...
