1 My father taught me this: One summer morning 50 years ago, a bunch of boys from a small town south of Tulsa found in a roadside ditch a huge wooden spool, the kind power companies use to carry high-tension wire. I imagine that kids anywhere would have lingered over such a treasure, and longed for a way to claim it; but for these boys, back in the days when rural electrification was still a revolutionary movement, there was no way they could leave it behind.
Beauty in the Strangest Places
Chicago Symphony Orchestra at Orchestra Hall, November 27, December 3, and December 10 Pierre Boulez is the best orchestra conductor alive. He's also the most cold-blooded. His rep hasn't changed for decades: he's the ultraintellectual modernist, the disdainer of imprecision and emotional sloppiness, the unyielding advocate of all music harsh, obscure, and avant-garde.

Quaint Is the New Cutting Edge Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip Or so you might think after the first few episodes of NBC's new backstage drama.

John D. MacDonald Before Travis McGee
There's a special kind of poignancy—amounting at times to pure excruciation—in seeing a great writer get famous for his worst books. When people bring up John D. MacDonald, they are almost always thinking of the dopey series of adventure stories he wrote about a Florida beach bum named Travis McGee.

Book Review: ‘WWII: A Chronicle of Soldiering’ and ‘Some Came Running’ by James Jones
In 1975, the publisher Grosset & Dunlap brought out a coffee-table book about the graphic art of World War II. It reproduced hundreds of works, most of them obscure or unknown, by official military artists, newspaper illustrators and amateurs—everything from pencil sketches made by soldiers on South Pacific bases to grand commemorative paintings designed to hang on Pentagon walls.
