...Tempest and Merchant of Venice incidental music and the In Memoriam overture. In Memoriam is a masterpiece and a monument to the best aspects of Victorian music. Written the same year as the Symphony and dedicated to his recently-deceased father, it builds from a quiet start through a restless central section for strings. The climax at the end is spectacular: the large orchestra (augmented by two extra horns and ophicleide) is joined by the organ. To see the Royal Albert Hall in London and the organ there is to know where In Memoriam belongs...
...that Aaron is closing in on 715, his fans are growing restless. Two weeks ago, after Aaron hit Nos. 708 and 709 against the San Diego Padres, the California crowd roundly booed Padre Pitcher Mike Caldwell for striking Henry out on his last time at bat.

Anne Veronica (1909), a thesis novel about free love, borrowed shamelessly from his own prolific sex life...
...Korea, as an example. Twenty years after the armistice, that unhappy Land of Morning Calm remains divided. U.S. armed forces are still stationed south of the 38th parallel to protect an absolute police-state regime. As long as this situation prevails Korean society will be demoralized and the suffering, restless people will be pushed deeper into repression and despair. But their endurance is not unlimited. In order to stay in power, the unpopular Park Chung Hee regime is desperately trying to tie the U.S. down in Korea...
