...Carter ’30 continues to dazzle with a stream of new works. He wrote his first opera two years ago and Yo-Yo Ma ’76 recently premiered his cello concerto with the Chicago Symphony. His intense but accessible modernism is a welcome change from the watered-down simplicity of many of today’s new orchestral works. Symphonia, subtitled Sum fluxae pretium spei (“I am the prize of flowing hope” from 17th-century metaphysical poet Richard Crashaw’s “Bulla”), actually existed...
...stream of consciousness thinking went something like this: Holy crap, that’s Carlos Boozer…wow, he looks huge even compared to the other players…hey look, it’s Mike Dunleavy…I could have sworn he was lankier in real-life…oh well, he still looks goofy…who is that, number 30…must be Dahntay Jones…he’s damn smooth with his J, but looks a little too disinterested to really root for…hey, it’s Chris...

...predictability of the current escalation testifies to the absence of a strategy on either side capable of stabilizing the situation. Israel's blockades, air strikes, assassinations and mini-invasions of Palestinian-controlled towns has not stopped a steady stream of gunmen and suicide bombers. There's little reason to believe that more of the same will succeed. But reoccupying the West Bank and Gaza urban centers remains exceedingly risky for the Israelis, both politically and militarily, and they're more likely to maintain the current pattern of moving troops in with heavy air- and armored support to do house...
...mention Saudi Arabia, bin Laden's homeland. But Saudi citizens have obviously supported al-Qaeda with money, men and serious theological underpinnings. Saudi Arabia is a vast country in which local tribal leaders can be wooed and bought, as in Afghanistan. In Saudi Arabia, where a constant stream of tens of thousands of foreigners from all over the world legitimately makes pilgrimages to Mecca, foreign Arab terrorists don't stick out. Would a relatively weak Saudi government crack down on a rich, highly organized and entrenched terrorist group staunchly supported by the Saudi people? And would the U.S. strike...
