...Since the situation is inherently revolutionary, it plays right into the hands of the Communists. It's 'just their meat'. But instead of taking any active stand, the West has tended to take the policy of find the enemy's policy and then stop him." The Western powers ought to seek their own, more positive foreign policy. If they fail to do this, they will be unable to cope with the new world situation. "If you don't recognize reality, it will defeat you," she says...
...bearded loafers of the 11 o'clock crowd. Here, they thought, is something. Here is what we have been waiting for these long years. The Bick has ceased to be the symbol of the locusts' ravage, the turtles' quiet call. And swiftly they gathered back where the butterscotch puddings stand stacked in gleaming rows, where the untoasted English lies moist and soft in purple racks.

The solution was not to be found by Schoenberg's famous pupil, Berg, who frequently used tonality, and whose arch-romantic operas stand far closer to the nineteenth century than to Berg's twelve-tone colleagues. In time it became clear that the major influence on the succeeding generation of twelve-tone writers was Anton Webern, another Schoenberg pupil who has been the subject of a major renaissance in the past few years...
