...that Schönberg's music, like Einstein's theory, sounds queer because it is way over the average man's head; opponents swear that Schönberg is pulling everybody's leg, including his own, and that his miscalled music is a gibberish of wrong notes. Gibberish or no, Arnold Schönberg's music is fearfully difficult to play. The main difficulty is to get all of Schönberg's wrong notes in the right places...
...comrades, said Dr. Grebanier, met weekly in each other's homes,* discussed Marxism, united-front politics. Teachers Union affairs, how to vote in faculty elections. "It would be wrong to say," he explained, "that there was any deep-dyed plotting in these discussions." They also got reading assignments. Required reading: The Daily Worker, Life of Karl Marx, Earl Browder's Communism in the U. S. For dues ($25 a month), party literature, "Red Front" funds and the like, Dr. Grebanier shelled out $500 a year, more than 10% of his salary. On one occasion...
What I have to say is only a suggestion and made even more difficult by the fact that there's nothing wrong with House dances in the first place.

Latest Columbia reissues feature a Duke Ellington album, which includes classics like Drop Me Off At Harlem and Lazy Rhapsody, plus an article on the Duke by John Hammond, who is billed as "America's Greatest Jazz Authority." They're wrong, he's the second greatest...
Caring nothing about stocks themselves, only about quotations, Jesse Livermore had a theory: he would be right 60% of the time, wrong 40%, pyramid a fortune out of the 20% differential. In 1908 he discovered the cotton market, was wiped out. He could scarcely have chosen a more unfortunate time to go broke. For four years (1911-1914) the stockmarket couldn't make up its mind whether to go up or down. For Jesse Livermore that meant starvation. In 1915 he declared himself bankrupt for the first time...
