...purpose of this peculiar experiment, which was arranged by Psychologists Henry A. Cross Jr., Charles G. Halcomb and William W. 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.

The responding writers make a number of objections on historical grounds and try to discredit the sociology of Stanley Elkins, whose work Styron called "enormously important" and which influenced Styron called "enormously important" and which influenced Styron's portrait of plantation slaves.
