Elizabeth Cohen Dec 31, 1995 First Published: Dec 31, 1995

"He was a warrior...What he did was pry a chink out of the wall and let the light come through the hole. It's up to us to keep that hole open. We've got a world to save. This guy is going to kick our ass if we get up there and we haven't carried the torches."
---Ken Kesey, Funeral for Jerry Garcia, 8/11/95

Richard Lehnert Jul 15, 1990 First Published: Jul 15, 1990

Elgar's Enigma

Denis Stevens Feb 28, 1990 First Published: Feb 28, 1990

The hidden theme of Elgar's Enigma Variations has been sufficiently investigated over the past 90 years to deter all but the most intrepid researcher from tackling the problem yet again. I would not venture to do so unless I were convinced that a well-argued attempt to solve the mystery once and for all had not been unfairly brushed aside, even ignored, a dozen or so years ago.
