...nation into a modern state. In the early 1960s, he informed his ministers: "I am going to go faster than the left." His dream of economic and social reforms was shared by a new generation of intellectuals, who also believed, mistakenly as it turned out, that political reforms would follow. The Shah's ambitious reform program -the so-called White Revolution-included a number of laudable aims: a literacy corps, equal rights for women, nationalization of forestry and water resources, profit-sharing schemes for workers, and land reforms designed to break up huge feudal estates...
...concerto combines twelve-tone serial procedures with traditional structural designs. From a sonata-form first movement, it moves through a ternary slow movement to a rondo finale. He uses a 12-tone row, both forwards and backwards, but the piece is still easier to follow by ear than most serial works. Cordero's orchestration is so skillful that even the rambunctious finale never swamps the solo violin. Like its famous Alban Berg predecessor of 1936, this work is a rare masterpiece among serial violin concertos...
EMOTIONAL RESCUE is the thematic culmination of the album. The tracks that follow, "She's So Cold," a delightful bopper, and "All About You," a ballad groaned by Keef, only reiterate the misogyny of the rest of the album.

Since 1968, Midland's rivals-Barclays, Lloyds, Standard Chartered and the Royal Bank of Scotland-have all established offices there...
...auspicious opening was a difficult act to follow, and many Farmerites wondered whether the Riverworld was wide enough to sustain a projected tetralogy. The author's next works allayed all fears. The Fabulous Riverboat gives Burton some delightful traveling companions. He and the grownup Alice Liddell Hargreaves (child model for Lewis Carroll's Alice) meet a cynical fellow named Samuel Langhorne Clemens, who constructs a side-wheel steamer to voyage upriver. The second volume also introduces Cyrano de Bergerac and England's King John, who attempted to steal the throne from his brother Richard in real life...
