But he is Russian to his stubby fingertips, and so is his music. The Communists regard him as a decadent, God-loving capitalist who writes ugly music. Stravinsky's opinion of the Communists is just as brusque: he thinks they are ruining Russian music (including that of his old friend Sergei Prokofiev). Says Stravinsky: "I hate Soviet music...

Its channels are clear and shallow; a shadow cast across the water is enough warning for its wary rainbows...
...last year's British Open, he parked his big black Rolls-Royce beside the 18th green at Hoylake, so that he could drive away triumphantly when his day's work was done (he finished sixth). No such liberties were permitted last week at Muirfield, which Scots regard as hallowed ground. In the qualifying round he shot two 69s, to lead the field. The skeptics considered it a fluke. Some crack golfers had struggled in behind him. From the U.S. had come 13 talented men, including former Open Champion Lawson Little and Claude Harmon (winner of the recent Masters...
