...bitter, two-month election campaign into a referendum on Duarte. They dinned home the idea that a vote for Duarte's party was a vote for the F.M.L.N. rebels, and ARENA's D'Aubuisson habitually called the Christian Democrats "the green stain," referring to the party's traditional election color. But ARENA suffered a noticeable setback in February when one of D'Aubuisson's associates was arrested in Texas with eight suitcases containing $6 million in cash: the Christian Democrats seized on the event with full-page ads in local newspapers...
...really nothing else to be done with a book that begins, "In Paradise, on the banks of the River of Time, the Lord of the Universe." It seems God is quite a pitcher, plucking balls from the bed of the River of Time and hurling curves that change color as they break, determining the future. Either you believe...
...with Harvard's consent, a portion of the Old Yard. Over the years that district has been expanded, but never over the objections of the University.

Revered by fellow musicians, Sessions adapted such modernist techniques as Stravinskian neoclassicism and Schoenbergian serialism to his individual style, allowing lyricism and emotional color to come through the bursts and layers of sound. Almost all his works, however, are dense, dissonant and difficult both to perform and to listen to, with the result that some compositions waited years for premieres; among his best-known and least inaccessible works were his score for The Black Maskers (1923) and Symphony...
