...IVES: FOURTH SYMPHONY (Columbia). Charles Ives once said, "I found out I could not go on using the familiar chords early. I heard something else." Indeed he did, and as a virtual recluse who had never heard a note of Schoenberg, he set down his inner music, delving into dissonance and polytonality in 1916. The work was not played until 50 years after it was written, and this first recording by Leopold Stokowski and the American Symphony Orchestra celebrates the long-delayed recognition of a major composer...

The U.S. wanted only to be friends with both powers, but was roundly denounced by each. Along Karachi streets, Americans heard the old, familiar chant: "Yankee, go home!" In India, two German tourists were beaten by a mob that thought they were Americans. Washington held only one trump card and promptly used it: all military supplies to both countries were suspended. Pakistan would be the first to feel the pinch since...
...large cliche collection here assembled includes the Reincarnated Hero, the Perilous Quest, the Lost City and the ravishingly beautiful woman who is really 2,000 years old. But She is no copycat; Britain's H. Rider Haggard wrote it in 1886,* 51 years before Ronald Colman ever heard of Shangri...
