Kreisler's achievement of learning the craft of composition might be commendable if his method were not Machiavellian--he accomplished his ends by stealing and lying (it was the only way for a violinist to succeed in a field so competitive and demanding.) He filched the style and flavor of classical composers and used them in his own works. Fortunately, he admitted his crimes--for musicologists' sakes--in pieces like "Variations on a Theme of Corelli in the Style of Giuseppe Tartini." But he sometimes tried to fool other composers by publishing old-style pieces under the names of 18th...
Finland's economic relationship with the U.S.S.R. is complex, intimate and highly profitable for the Finns. Under special trade treaties drawn up every five years, Finno-Soviet economic ties have taken on an almost mercantilistic flavor.

...Magnen's work shows that when their diet is monotonous, rats eat only what they need, but overeat and become fat when fed a different flavor every 30 minutes. At the conference, he reported that the taste and smell of the food encouraged hunger and obesity by causing a reflexive increase in insulin. Le Magnen also reported evidence, in both rats and humans, that each new tasty food produces a conditioned insulin release. In other words, even if a varied meal and a one-food meal are equal in size and good taste, the varied meal may prove more...
