Last year Linderman won the title of All-Around Cowboy champion for the third time. His winnings reflect the postwar rise of rodeo from a sporadic local show to a nationwide (Boston to San Francisco) sport witnessed by some 20 million people last year at nearly 600 rodeos. In his 14-year career, Linderman has also collected some spectacular bruises, e.g., a fractured skull at Pueblo, Colo. (1943), a broken neck and back at Deadwood, S. Dak. (1946), not to mention a broken hand in New York City, and a broken leg at Lewistown, Mont...
Smoky Dizziness. Tamayo confesses that Heated Discussion has personal roots. It reminds him of his arguments with David Siqueiros, who opposes Tamayo's work because it does not reflect the Marxist ideology which Communist Siqueiros insists is part of the Mexican heritage. Tamayo has also put some personal feeling−and a touch of his new humor−into Inexpert Smoker, which portrays a head gripping a pipe and surrounded with smoke, ashes and dizziness.

The Revolution has, in a manner of speaking, "grown up." Older and wiser, it can reflect upon its principles and rediscover its beginnings. 'The revolutionary mind . . . must therefore return again to the source of rebellion and draw its inspiration from the only system of thought which is faithful to its origins; thought which recognizes limits...
...complex and rich must be the devices of a composer who would attempt to capture all this. The melodic declamation must match the mood of the narrator (and in these odes the poet always speaks in the first person). The piano writing must reflect the external scene--now the roaring sea, now the realm of abstract speculation, now the very power of Bacchus. In all these shifting moods the composer's emotional intensity must be just a degree less than the poet's; the musical setting must heighten, not dwarf the spirit of the poetry. Finally, there is the language...
