...series of rare interviews in recent weeks, TIME correspondents talked to some of the protesters, who told why and how they demonstrated. Shocked and distressed when they heard of the invasion on Aug. 21, they met that same afternoon -not, as in earlier meetings, to listen to rock music, but to discuss how they should react to events in Czechoslovakia...
...Felix Mendelssohn, then 20, conducted a Berlin performance of the St. Matthew Passion. Although severely cut and subjected to a much doctored orchestration, the music awoke the public to Bach. Thereafter, the 19th century treated him with a mixture of veneration and desecration. His choral works were frequently performed, but with muddy-sounding 1,000-voice choirs and thick, brass-bottomed orchestras. His original scores were collected over a period of 50 years for the definitive 60-volume Bach-Gesellschaft edition of his works, completed in 1900 (a new, even more complete edition is now under way).

To be sure, she moved with music, including such tunes as The Swim and Walking the Dog. Reluctant to act as dance critics, the court majority said that any dance is automatically entitled to First Amendment protection unless the state can prove that it is obscene. Relying on U.S. Supreme Court doctrine, the California justices declared that the state had the burden of proving that the dominant theme of Kelley's dance...
