...when he was tired, perhaps incapable of cutting a trail any further into the forest of such untried dissonances and rhythms as he used in Le Sacre du Printemps. He had long dis carded the skirling imagery of Petrushka and The Firebird. When he wrote Oedipus he was deep in a desire to return to the classicists, anxious perhaps to begin all over again, to see where a new trail would take him. He chose an old, formal pattern fundamentally similar to the Handel oratorios...
...Deep within the brain is a biologically ancient section called the diencephalon or tweenbrain.* Here the sensations on smell, sight, visceral activity, body position, temperature and pain pause a jiffy on their way to the thinking part of the brain.

...question: What caused the Transcontinental & Western Air plane crash in which Nation-famed Knute Kenneth Rockne and seven others were killed? (TIME, Apr. 6). The plane, a trimotored Fokker, tumbled out of the low clouds near Bazaar, Kan., with its right wing fluttering after it. It buried its nose deep into the stony soil of flint hills. Only the twisted steel and fabric-or what was left of it by souvenir-hunters-could give further testimony. Designer Anthony Hermann Gerhard Fokker flew from Los Angeles to inspect the wreckage for himself. Fiercely proud of his creation, he was certain there...
