...revolt against his immediate past he turned back to the present, to the worlds he had neglected during his years in the Widener stacks. Two years before he had been married, to a newspaperwoman; not one of those who drinks her coffee black and eats the paper cup to prove she's no pansey, but a vibrant and gracious women whose style is as ample as his own. In love, his apprenticeship now over, he must have begun to appraise Miller's legacy. He might have seen Miller's desire to record all of the American spirit as an impossible...

Matter, was not to prove how terrible atonalism is, but to see whether animals that seldom make much noise themselves could respond to the arranged sounds that humans know as music. Cross, who happens to prefer Mozart himself, has an explanation of why the rats agreed with his musical tastes.

Mozart used the traditional chromatic scale...
