...have happened to damage them. Their names, engraved in faint gold lettering on wooden plaques, crowd the walls of the Sanctum on the second floor of our House at 21 South Street. Pegasus, the winged horse, has been carved into a wooden throne chair, featured above The Advocate's motto: Dulce est Periculum. There is also another: Veritas nihil veretur, which means (I read a translation of it the introduction to this anthology) "Truth fears nothing...
Died. Robert E. Wood, 90, soldier turned merchant king, who built Sears, Roebuck and Co. into the world's largest merchandising concern; in Lake Forest, Ill. A West Pointer (1900) who rose to brigadier general, Wood had one motto: "Let's charge!" And charge he did soon after he joined Sears as a vice president in 1924. Within four years he was president, and what was previously a rural mail-order house swiftly expanded into retail stores, insurance and financing.

Viveca Lindfors, like her fellow supporting players, adopts the familiar rock musicians' motto: Loud is Good...
...never indulge in an easy rapture of tonal staleness or facile dramaturgy. Mahler learned much from Bruckner, primarily thematic linking of unprecedented subtlety among movements, the proliferation of material in the second thematic group, the immediate juxtaposition of radically differing elements (here Mahler extended Bruckner's simpler process of motto-lyrical oppositions to ironic commentary on all materials), and the greatest lesson of an enormously expanded sonata time-scale. But Mahler could never equal the cerulean and luminous chorale apotheoses of this Edward Gibbon of symphonists. The two men worshipped in different churches, one Gothic, the other a spectral proscenium...
