Writer and philosopher Robert Pirsig on enjoying the journey:

"Mountains should be climbed with as little effort as possible and without desire. The reality of your own nature should determine the speed. If you become restless, speed up. If you become winded, slow down. You climb the mountain in an equilibrium between restlessness and exhaustion. Then, when you're no longer thinking ahead, each footstep isn't just a means to an end but a unique event in itself. This leaf has jagged edges. This rock looks loose. From this place the snow is less visible, even though closer. These are things you should notice anyway. To live only for some future goal is shallow. It's the sides of the mountain which sustain life, not the top. Here's where things grow."

北京再次召開“一帶一路”峰會論壇之際，紐約大學法學院亞美研究所研究員何宜倫(Aaron Halegua)和資深法學教授孔杰榮(Jerome Cohen)星期一(4/22)撰文指出，中國的“#一帶一路”是個總計1萬億美元、跟100多個國家簽署雙邊協議的計劃。但是，
“一個常常被忽略的受害者人群是被派到海外去建設這些項目的中國工人。” 孔杰榮告訴美國之音，在“一帶一路”計劃中工人受剝削是個重大問題。
勞工權益組織“中國勞工觀察”執行主任李強對美國之音說：“中國有法律，但執行起來沒辦法，因為中國缺的就是工會組織。” ……

A sample of the shelves. (Clarissa Sosin/WQXR)

May 3, 2018

By James Bennett II

Ilike to think that the best way to get to know someone is by taking a long, hard look at their bookshelf. What’s on it? How is it organized? What’s in the dusty corner that hasn’t been touched for years? Gazing at a friend’s collection can give you an idea of what to read next, but there’s something even more fascinating about browsing those of interesting and influential people. And that’s why we’re bringing you a curated list of selections from Leonard Bernstein’s library.

Looking at Bernstein’s books is like taking a walk through his life. Left, a photo with Stravinsky.

(Clarissa Sosin / WQXR)

The Bernstein family apartment, situated in the northern part of Manhattan’s Hell’s Kitchen, houses many of the conductor’s books (as well as those of his wife Felicia Montealegre) on two massive shelving units. Alexander Bernstein, the second of the Bernstein children, believes his father read pretty much every volume on the shelf, an eclectic mix ranging from religion and political science to psychology and social theory. (And even though Bernstein was a music man, books about music are few and far between.) It’s inspiring to see how varied his collection is: A small section holds several works by his favorite author, Vladimir Nabokov, and also present are his most treasured stories, Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. Numerous collections by poets like E.E. Cummings and William Carlos Williams dot the shelves, and there are classics like Homer and Austen next to works by Bernstein’s contemporaries, like Ralph Ellison, James Baldwin and Truman Capote.

So check out the selections below, and see how your reading habits stack up to Leonard’s.

Favorite author? Nabokov.

Today is the Birth Anniversary of our favourite Lenny, Leonard Bernstein. 

Leonard Bernstein (August 25, 1918 – October 14, 1990) was an American conductor, composer, pianist, music educator, author, and humanitarian. Considered to be one of the most important conductors of his time, he was the first American-born conductor to receive international acclaim. Bernstein was "one of the most prodigiously talented and successful musicians in American history" according to music critic Donal Henahan. Bernstein's honors and accolades include seven Emmy Awards, two Tony Awards, and 16 Grammy Awards (including the Lifetime Achievement Award) as well as an Academy Award nomination. He received the Kennedy Center Honor in 1981.

As a composer, Bernstein wrote in many genres, including symphonic and orchestral music, ballet, film and theatre music, choral works, opera, chamber music, and pieces for the piano. Bernstein's works include the Broadway musical West Side Story, which continues to be regularly performed worldwide, and has been adapted into two (1961 and 2021) feature films, three symphonies, Serenade after Plato's "Symposium" (1954), and Chichester Psalms (1965), the original score for the Elia Kazan drama film On the Waterfront (1954), and theater works including On the Town (1944), Wonderful Town (1953), Candide (1956), and his Mass (1971).

Bernstein was the first American-born conductor to lead a major American symphony orchestra. He was music director of the New York Philharmonic and conducted the world's major orchestras, generating a legacy of audio and video recordings.[8] Bernstein was also a critical figure in the modern revival of the music of Gustav Mahler, in whose music he was most interested.[9] A skilled pianist,[10] Bernstein often conducted piano concertos from the keyboard. He shared and explored classical music on television with a mass audience in national and international broadcasts, including Young People's Concerts with the New York Philharmonic.

Bernstein worked in support of civil rights, protested against the Vietnam War, advocated nuclear disarmament, raised money for HIV/AIDS research and awareness, and engaged in multiple international initiatives for human rights and world peace. He conducted Mahler's Resurrection Symphony to mark the death of president John F. Kennedy,[14] and in Israel at a concert, Hatikvah on Mt. Scopus, after the Six-Day War.[15] The sequence of events was recorded for a documentary entitled Journey to Jerusalem.[16] At the end of his life, Bernstein conducted a performance of Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 in Berlin to celebrate the fall of the Berlin Wall.
