Brahms thought highly enough of this early trio to rework it into a new version toward the end of his life. It shows a mastery of form and material worthy of Beethoven. But it is by no means an imitative or "student" work. Brahms was a mature and consummate composer right from his Opus...
...leave Sophocles out of this. This is the Antigone of Jean Anouilh, who has as much right as anybody else to take and rework an old story in the public domain. If his Antigone is not the "Tragedy" he designated it, it is (even in the Lewis Galantiere translation) an intriguing, witty, almost moving work, written with the urbane tough-minded brilliance of which only the French seem to have the secret...

The Kennedy rework: an urgent appeal for the U.S. to step into the bloody Algerian rebellion against French rule and lend its weight to the cause of Algerian independence...
These objects a few decades from now may be back on the junk heap, or they may prove to have been the testing ground for a new way of seeing in an age of electronics, supersonics and atomic power. At the moment they represent a continuing effort to rework the common materials of the age. By using techniques borrowed from airplane factory and auto assembly lines, modern-day sculptors are finding new ways to express man's place, or lack of it, in a fast-changing, highly technical and anxious...
...office paper work, the entire horizon of factory automation is beginning to open up for electronics.

Such feedback controls are the forerunner of real automation. Linked together, they will make automated production lines. A form of the new automation is already at work making telephone relays for Western Electric, acetylene gas and carbide for the National Carbide division...
