I should add that there were some excellent writers involved as well as some excellent colleagues at Apple.

Have just been very cheered by this review of Apple Music Classical’s latest feature, Listening Guide, a project I’ve been very busy with over (I think rather more than) the past six months or so:

This is blood-boiling. Charles Rogers was awarded the Medal of Honor in Vietnam after being wounded three times leading the defense of a position.

Google his name and the entry below comes up. When you click, you'll see the page has been deleted and the URL changed to include "DEI medal."

Trump levels stunning criticisms against Zelensky after Russia talks Trump's comments about Ukraine's domestic politics will likely put more pressure on Zelensky ahead of possible negotiations to end the war.

Trump is simply repeating a Putin talking point here. Russia has insisted on intervening in basic issues of Ukrainian sovereignty for more than a decade. Now Trump is doing Putin’s PR work, making unsustainable arguments for an unjustifiable invasion.

The Cambridge Stravinsky Encyclopedia | Twentieth-century and contemporary music

I’ve only just discovered that the Cambridge Stravinsky Encyclopedia, to which I contributed several entries, has been made available in paperback since August - at a far more affordable price than the hardback. www.cambridge.org/gb/universit...
