...preempted the busing plan by sending herdaughter Nancy to the Joseph E. Maynard School,one of Area Four's two public elementary schools...
...regard Mozart as somehow not a man at all-to view him as a sort of child god whose works welled up spontaneously. In his biography Mozart, published in English in 1982, Wolfgang Hildesheimer succeeded to a large degree in scraping away the legends surrounding the composer, but now Maynard Solomon, in his extraordinary new study, Mozart: A Life (HarperCollins; 640 pages; $35), has gone much further than any of his predecessors in humanizing his subject.

...early- to mid-1960s, though, the persistence of prosperity finally became too blatant to ignore, and one prominent economist proclaimed that we had one foot through the door of a Golden Age. Recessions, if any, would be short and mild; John Maynard Keynes had shown us how to stop them. Lyndon Johnson never doubted that a growing economy would generate enough revenues to finance wars against communists in Vietnam and poverty at home-simultaneously. Civil-rights crusaders never considered the possibility that blacks would be educated and trained for good jobs that would fail to appear. Even hippies assumed they...
