...JERRY HALL. Painter Lucian Freud, who has turned down offers to paint Queen Elizabeth and Pope John Paul II (and has had one of his pieces sold at auction for $5.8 million), painted the statuesque wife of MICK JAGGER. Best known for disturbing portraits of fleshy naked women, Sigmund's grandson shows the leggy Texan both pregnant and with her then infant son. The paintings will be premiered at London's Tate Gallery on Wednesday...
CIVILIZATION AND ITS DISCONTENTS (1930) In this late summation of his life's work, Sigmund Freud set out to explain why people living in happily ordered public groups can be so miserable in private. The answer, elegantly argued, is that societies thrive by curbing the hungers of individual egos. Hence anger and feelings of guilt; and hence psychoanalysis...

The orchestra conveyed these developments superbly. The symphony was named after Mozart's childhood friend Sigmund Haffner, to celebrate his elevation to the nobility. Appropriately, the first movement is full of pomp and flair, with dramatic octave leaps and running scales. The Andante is warm and almost romantic in style, though filled with unmistakable Mozartian phrases. The Minuet juxtaposes an energetic main section with a flowing, graceful Trio...
