America's pervasive insensitivity to bigotry, then, is the heart of the matter. A man who literally holds his finger on the trigger of the American military machine indulges in a Nazi concept and then sits quietly, saying nothing more for over a month, until embarrassed into an apology by an alerted press...
Although Preservation Acts I and II were satisfying musically, there was nevertheless something lacking, and that something was a stage.
