In a sense, the book is a Chronicle of the part played by composers in the development of the art of ballet. For this reason, we have returned, wherever possible, to the composer's original conception and have attempted to establish what were his intentions with regard to the relationship between his music and the action of the ballet. In this respect, the function of the book is primarily documentary. But at the same time, it is designed to answer two practical needs. In the first place, it should provide guidance for those who listen to ballet music on gramophone records, in the concert Hall, and on the radio. The selection of music examples has been made entirely with this end in view. We have confined the music examples to those themes or motifs which helped to sustain the musical and dramatic unity of the score. The second , and more traditional, aims of our book is to assist the ballet-goer in following the action and the symbolism, if any, of a ballet.…

The major example used in this voume , the massacre at My Lai, is to be thought of as the occasion for raising and investigating the moral and legal questions of individual and collective responsibility. We are not trying to pass judgment on Lt. Calley, his company, or his superiors; that has been done and surely will be reviewed. We are not pronouncing a verdict on the American system; that has also been done, and it will continue to be done in the years of social retrospection which hopefully will follow the Indochina war. Yet, neither are we putting off judgment. Instead, the philosophers in this volume are examining the grounds for holding various notions of responsibility and the application of such notions of atrocity that was My Lai. In brief, the aim of this book and of the series as a whole, is to produce exciting new philosophical contributions to the major ethical controversies of the day." (p. vii) [Now think of contemporary Moral Issues of sinking "drug" boats and killing their crews in international waters, kidnapping a sovereign nation's President and extraditing him for trial in another country, commandeering oil tankers in international waters, invading another sovereign country to kill drug lords and their followers, using military might on domestic soil to achieve "political" goals of the country's President, etc. // Glossy orange wrappers with Title lettering in thick white letters on top third front cover, just above Editor name lettering in small black letters at upper left middle front cover; Illustration on lower half front cover of two soldiers in helmets, profiled leftward, with an unhelmeted man looking toward reader, partially obscured by a helmet, with a human hand pointing off to the right, suggesting that "responsibility lies elsewhere".

Wraps. Etat : Very good. 132 pages, plus covers. Front cover folds out. Illustrations (some in color). The cover article is entitled When Did Everyone Become a Socialist? It was written by Simon van Zuylen-Wood. New York is an American biweekly magazine. Founded by Clay Felker and Milton Glaser in 1968 as a competitor to The New Yorker and The New York Times Magazine, it was brasher in voice and more connected to city life, becoming a cradle of New Journalism and one of the first lifestyle magazines. Over time it expanded into national coverage, noted for its political reporting, arts and culture criticism, food writing, and service journalism. Since its redesign and relaunch in 2004, it has won numerous National Magazine Awards, including Magazine of the Year in 2013. Its critics have twice won the Pulitzer Prize for Criticism, with Jerry Saltz in 2018 and Andrea Long Chu in 2023. On the cover of New York Magazine's March 417, 2019 issue, writer Simon van Zuylen-Wood takes a look at the lives of New York City's young socialists. Socialism is Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's calling card, Trump's latest rhetorical bludgeon, and a fixture of the Brooklyn social scene, it seems. Included in the package is a guide to socialism's intellectual heroes, Twitter savants, neoliberal enemies, and common buzzwords; a debate between New York columnist Jonathan Chait and Jacobin founder Bhaskar Sunkara on what's wrong with liberalism; and more. "I actually got thinking about this story a couple years ago, when I started noticing more and more of my generational cohort including, maybe, myself? drifting leftward," van Zuylen-Wood says about the origins of this story. "Fast-forward to 2019 and we're living in AOC's world. The time seemed ripe to document the way socialism has become not just a political program but a lived experience for young New Yorkers.". 35th Annul Edition of Best of New York [stated].
