At one time, I dearly wanted to go to Salzburg and see my musical hero Mozart's birthplace. Somehow, that became terribly important to me, so I beg and cajoled my husband into planning a trip to Salzburg, Vienna and Prague (places that were important in M's life). It was a great trip! Did you procu...

The only people at risk are themselves. What entertainments will you ban next?

Actually the term is methatesis, uh, metathesis.

I was being ascriptive. You are being descriptive. Hence the cats below.

There's really nothing to think about. Of course we may want to think about whether music has a future, to which the immediate and obvious answer is that of course it does. Music is older than human history - it's something that humans do by virtue of being human. But the kind of calculations this ...

And the war in Iraq is not "history" from which we can move on so easily because, in addition to its contributions to our current debt, it has produced its own veteran entitlements, as in the case of every war we are significantly involved in.

For his invention, Spencer received no royalties, but he was paid a one-time, two-dollar gratuity from Raytheon - the same token payment the company made to all inventors on its payroll at that time, for company patents.
