...posterity. Such a document is often a summary of previous implications: and here are the echoes of many a famous "preface" concerning religion, eugenics, education, professional morality, economics-in short, society. But the echoes are measured and stressed in a grand symphony of discord for which the resolving chord is equality of income. The bizarre title of the composition is calculated to attract male attention: a man cannot confess his ignorance of politics, economics, and all the rest of a voter's business, but he does not object to elementary instruction offered his wife. And if the husband should...

The sketches also struck a responsive chord in me--particularly a small sketch hidden away on page 289, untitled, unadorned. There is no use in going over the whole number in these columns, they suit better their natural habitat. Let the Jester mourn. When he does, we can smile; it is only when he is rioting...
...forget altogether the guitar of the barbershop ballads. Sor, Malats, Tarrega, Torroba, Grandaos, Albeniz and even a suite of the great Johann Sebastian Bach were played, with an amazing virtuosity and an infinite variety of tonal color. Some moments the music was bright, crackling like a harp's chord, then full, glowing like an E 'cello. Always it was more than a guitar, the mouthpiece of a rich imagination, intelligently directed...
