 The Corruption of Civil Rights and Civil Law
The concepts of "civil rights" and of "civil law" are both functions of the concept of "civil society": Civil society is that sphere of private action free of government control.
The essence of civil society is thus that people are left by government to "regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement," while the government protects the citizens from criminal wrongs of violence, theft, fraud, etc. Civil rights and civil law exist in relation to such a scheme of civil society.
As in the case of civil rights, the purpose of this, perhaps deliberate, is to confuse the unwary and to appropriate liberal concepts and liberal institutions for illiberal or totaliarian purposes.

 Alan Civil (1929-1989)
A frequent guest at Horn Workshops, Alan Civil played second horn to Dennis Brain, and was later his successor in the Royal Philharmonic.
Besides three different recorded versions of the Mozart concerti, Civil also can be heard in the Beatles song "For No One," where he plays a beautiful high-register obbligato solo.
Known for his quick wit, Civil once metaphorically quipped that you "really have to be sitting on the edge of your seat for pretty well all your life, otherwise you won't be able to play the horn."

 The Torturer's Apprentice
Alan Dershowitz prides himself on his credentials as a civil libertarian, and to judge by most of the essays in his latest book, Shouting Fire: Civil Liberties in a Turbulent Age, he has good reason to do so.
The Harvard law professor has built a considerable reputation on his defense of free speech, due process and the separation of church and state, to say nothing of his propensity for controversial clients and clamorous talk shows.
The impetus for the collection appears to be at least in part a desire to reassert the importance of civil liberties, even in the face of such national security threats as those posed by the events of September 11 and their aftermath.

Mozart: Horn Concertos - Alan Civil / ASMF / Marriner - Buy @ OpusCDs.com music cd store
Here is some of the composer's jolliest music (the last movement of Concerto No.4 is a classical pop, so famous that it was turned into a comic song called 'Ill Wind' by Flanders & Swann), but the slow movements, in contrast, are among Mozart's most poetic.
The combination of Alan Civil's full-blooded playing and Neville Marriner's lively accompaniment make this issue irresistible and, as a bonus, there's Mozart's charming, though less well-known, oboe concerto with Neil Black as the stylish soloist.
