...else would be able to fit three independent melodies into the same song and sustain them all so effortlessly? (It's been done before but never so effortlessly, so casually.) "Here Comes the Sun," for example, starts out as something the Byrds might have been able to do-till you get to the part where an instrumental interlude breaks in to invert all the melody lines and the whole thing still makes beautiful sense. Or how else to explain the presence of "Oh Darling" on the album, a song which would have been no more than a flat...

That way they may learn something about taste and design. Also about frustration. For though the pieces fit together easily enough, producing a balanced and pleasing arrangement is a true test of ingenuity and self-control. Says one new planetarian: "I couldn't stop. I worked until dawn and got so irritated I nearly screamed. Vasarely's paintings always looked like child's play...
