...classical guitar-Galilei, Sanz, Bach, Sor, Albéniz. His sound was lushly colored, his touch always impeccable, his readings alive with an extraordinary range of nuance not often found in the guitar. Celin, 24, followed his father-again with classical selections, but in a mistier, more rhapsodic vein. Angel, 14. offered a limber, clean-lined performance of the Bach Chaconne from Partita Number Two. Pepe, 18, whipped through a selection of flamenco songs with remarkable fire and dexterity, thrumming out the music's traditional chords with steel-sure fingers. Later the four came out together to play...
...former Chicago Chancellor Robert Hutchins (who still holds the title of editor of the Great Books). In 1943 Adler scraped up a $60,000 grant to begin work on his Syntopticon index for the Great Books. The Syntopticon unabashedly categorizes the "102 Great Ideas of Western Civilization" (from Angel and Animal to Wisdom and the World ) and refers the reader to everything of note that the great authors have said about them...

When she wins an annulment he is desolate, and his family is disgraced -in Sicily, where the family lives, a man's virility and his public position are intimately interdependent. In despair, the young man turns to a servant girl, gets her with child. The honor...
...magnum opus. As a biography, it is the ablest assemblage of a tale many of whose pieces will never be found; as writing, it is often awkward and repetitious. But the story alone carries the book. Rimbaud embodied in his short life some of the great prototypes: the fallen angel, the artist-outlaw, the prodigal son. He continues to be worshiped by religious writers as a saint, by revolutionary poets as a supreme rebel. But he was mostly a poet and a suffering human being, and to the latter, at least, Miss Starkie's book does ample justice...
