...spite of all the mishaps which marred the performance (at one point the entire performance had to stop and start some measures back), there was also a great deal of beauty. The Requiem is long, even with two movements omitted, and often repetitive. Professor Woodworth did not allow it to fall asleep. He used the chorus in such a way as to provide the greatest possible contrast to the organ; and even if the chorus has sometimes sounded more polished, its performance was, under the conditions, nothing to be ashamed...
...warned to merge themselves completely in Soviet society (while still carrying documents designating them as Jews) and are discouraged from their own cultural identity. In recent months the world Jewish press has been full of anxious debate about the changing Soviet attitude toward Jews. Last February a British Communist, Professor Hyman Levy, charged that "today there is not a single Jew in the Central Committee, and indeed no Jew in any high position."

It has its own sacred symbols; its cross is not something to shift around like a piece of stage scenery...
...painting (where he teaches students from 22 nations) the "school of vision." He scorns modern painters as "decorators for wallpaper, printed silk or men's ties" because "they do not use their eyes any more." He also unhesitatingly claims second sight. When he painted the portrait of Professor Auguste Forel, famous Swiss psychiatrist, Kokoschka made his subject look 20 years older, with his right hand drooping strangely, his right eye blind. Forel and his family protested that the portrait was a poor likeness-but four months later, just as though Psychological Portraitist Kokoschka had foreseen it, the unlucky professor...
