...Pieces for Orchestra, written, incredibly, in 1909, reflect the expressionism Webern adopted from Schoenberg. They realize his credo, "Once stated, the theme expresses all it has to say; it must be followed by something fresh." At the same time, they embrace the musical principles of the Brahms from which Webern had just emerged (the Six Pieces are only Opus 6). That is, they develop a single, chromatic figure, through varying rhythms and intervals. Every successive point is fresh, but presents only the logical implications of what has preceded...

But she is disturbed to see "how far women really are from achieving a freedom comparable to men's."

Pope John's new council, frankly aimed at "modernizing" the church, will have plenty to do in both discipline and dogma. The Vatican Council of 1869-70, even though it was the first churchwide convocation in more than 300 years, did little more than define papal infallibility before it broke up at the onset of the Franco-Prussian War. Thus, in its present battle against...
