'For an understanding of Bossism, Reform, and Progressivism as they were known in the United States between 1890 and 1912, this book is the most illunimating as well as the most interesting work in existence. . . In the stormy period here covered many men thought with La Follette that greedy business interests were fast gaining control of the land through the servants they placed in state governments and the Senate; and with varying degrees of fervor reformers fought their way to the helm in one state after another--Dolliver and Cummins in Iowa, Bristow in Kansas, George W.

After all, "The Bonnie Blue Flag" a Blackmur publication, was so popular that after New Orleans was captured by Butler in 1862 "he threatened to fine every man, woman or child who sang, whistled, or played it on any instrument, $25.00. He arrested and jailed A. E. Blackmar, fined him $500.00, and had his troops destroy the plates and printed music."—Powell. A travesty? Lyrics such as "With needy, starving mobs surrounded / The jealous, blind fanatics dare / To offer… Read More

''Nuestras vidas son los rios que van a dar en la mar que es el morir.''--Jorge Manrique. The one who was an unquestionable genius and the most spectacular of all, aside from [Jean "Uncle Yanko"] Varda, who belongs to an earlier period, was Gerhart Muench of Dresden. Gerhart belongs in a category all himself. As a pianist he is phenomenal, if not incomparable. He is also a composer. And in addition, a scholar, erudite to the finger tips. If he had done no more for us than to interpret Scriabin—and he did vastly more, all without result, alas--we of Big Sur ought be forever indebted to him.
