...gaping mummies. To be sure, London's Royal Opera and the Vienna State Opera remain committed to traditional opera staged in traditional ways, sung by the same coterie of jet- bound stars who appear at the Met. And the old style still has its rewards; the Royal's Der Rosenkavalier, a rococo dream handsomely sung and lovingly led by the company's new music director, Bernard Haitink, is impossible to envisage any other...
...Europe had one ironic benefit for the U.S. Among the emigres, mostly Jewish, who fled to these shores to escape him were designers, filmmakers and composers who would sound a new note in the American arts, one that kept ringing long after the war ended -- names like Mies van der Rohe, Billy Wilder and Arnold Schoenberg.

...when Gropius was appointed as head of the architectural program, the International style received in one stroke the legitimacy it had previously lacked in the United States. True, during this time it was Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, another refugee from the Nazis and a former student of Gropius, who would design the greatest edifices of Modernism according to his famous formula "less is more." But it is doubtful that his buildings would have been so rapidly acclaimed without the implicit approval of Gropius and the Harvard name...
