...Schuller's love of both the classical and jazz idioms prompted him to envision a reconciliation and integration of the two. At a lecture at Brandeis University in 1957, he coined the term "Third Stream." Influenced by compositions of Milhaud, Honneger and Krenek from the 1920s, as well as Ellington, Woody Herman and the more recent experiments of Stan Kenton, Schuller "realized that there was already a potential development and tradition, which could and should lead to the coming together of classical and jazz, which essentially were being segregated by the institutions of music.

...view a character gone insane. This perspective serves a dual purpose. First, it can allow the reader or viewer to more closely follow the inner development of a person in the throes of madness, a development that to an outside observer may simply appear a continuous and unchanging stream of irrational behavior.

Fall is also a time when mutual-fund managers sell losers to lock in tax benefits...
...bond can be secured by any dependable stream of revenue--corporate earnings, tax receipts, mortgage payments, Bag of Bones royalties. Bag of Bones? Well, yes, not to mention Carrie, The Shining and The Green Mile. You see, Wall Street financier David Pullman, who in 1997 rocked investors with "Bowie bonds," backed by royalties on the songs of David Bowie, is planning to create securities based on the earnings of authors. And while Pullman won't name the writers he has approached, may we suggest that a Stephen King bond would be an excellent investment opportunity...
