Meese's remarks were a response to the state of Texas' execution in September of Charles Rumbaugh Jr., who robbed and killed an Amarillo jeweller in 1975 at the tender age of 17. Rumbaugh's death by lethal injection was the first execution since 1964 of someone sentenced as a minor. Last month, Rumbaugh was succeeded by South Carolina's Terry Roach, who was convicted--also at the age of 17--for criminal sexual assault and two counts of murder. Thirty-one other death-row convicts await capital punishment for crimes committed before the age of legal maturity. Sixteen...
LISZT: Sonata in B Minor; Two Legends; The Blessing of God in Solitude. Francois-Rene Duchable, piano (Erato; LP or CD). Franz Liszt, the archetypal piano virtuoso, wrote only one sonata for his instrument, but what a sonata it is!

From the tender age of 17, Capa was by himself...
Almost nothing upsets the Chinese more than reminders of Japan's brutal occupation of their country, which took an estimated 20 million lives, before and during World War II. Japanese Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone thus touched a tender nerve last August when he became the first postwar Prime Minister to make an official visit to the Yasukuni Shrine, a Shinto holy place in Tokyo honoring Japanese war dead, including convicted criminals like Wartime Prime Minister Hideki Tojo. The Chinese reacted with denunciations of a new Japanese "militarism," and last month placard-waving students from Peking University mounted a protest demonstration...
