  Jazz News: Whitney To Present Special Tribute to Steve Reich in October 2006
The concerts Steve Reich gave at the Whitney Museum of American Art in 1969 and 1978 were among the most important of his early career.
This fall, the Whitney Museum pays special tribute to its longstanding relationship with Reich with two events that are part of Steve Reich @ 70, the world-wide celebration of the composer's 70th birthday.
Reich returned to the Whitney in 1978 and again in 1981 as part of the influential series “Composer's Showcase,” where many of his important works were premiered.

 [No title]
Arthur watched him open each paper in the bundle slowly, spread it out and, to put off the hateful moment for speech, pretend to peruse it deliberately before laying it on his knee; and, dim though the boy's conception of his father was, he did not misjudge the feelings behind that painful reluctance.
Whitney posed, not without success, as an intellectual woman who despised the frivolities of a fashionable existence--this in face of the obvious fact that she led a fashionable existence, or, rather, it led her, from the moment her _masseuse_ awakened her in the morning until her maid undressed her at night.
Whitney to look at him, as it had irritated her to look at Ellen; very painful were the reminders of the ravages of time from these people of about her own age, these whom she as a child had known as children.

 The Second Generation - by David Graham Phillips [Authorama]
She decided that Arthur’s failure and his lightness of manner in face of it were the chief trouble–this until Hiram’s shoulders began to stoop and hollows to appear in his cheeks and under his ears, and a waxlike pallor to overspread his face.
Whitney posed, not without success, as an intellectual woman who despised the frivolities of a fashionable existence–this in face of the obvious fact that she led a fashionable existence, or, rather, it led her, from the moment her masseuseawakened her in the morning until her maid undressed her at night.
Arthur had kept away because–so he told himself and believed–while he was not in the least responsible for his father’s illness, still seeing him and being thus reminded of their difference could not but have a bad effect.

 Art/Museums: Arthur Dove at the Whitney Museum of American Art   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Arthur Dove (1880-1946) was a seminal abstract painter whose work is an important precursor to Abstract Expressionism.
The former was estimated at $250,000 to $350,000, while the latter, very nicely framed in a receding silver frame, was estimated at $150,000 to $200,000, about a quarter of what it should gone for if it were as vibrant as the colors in the auction catalogue misleadingly indicated.
Dove was a bit uneven, but clearly never rested on his laurels, constantly anticipating new dawns to search for more inspiration and frequently found it, on his own and without care for convention and fads, but only today.

 The Second Generation - Chapter XX - Lorry’s Romance (By David Graham Phillips)
When Arthur came home from Exeter from his first long vacation, their friendship had been renewed after a fashion, then had ended abruptly in a quarrel and a pitched battle, from which neither had emerged victor, both leaving the battle ground exhausted and anguished by a humiliating sense of defeat.
The renewal of the friendship dated from the accident to Arthur’s hand; it rapidly developed as he lost the sense of patronizing Laurent, and as Laurent for his part lost the suspicion that Arthur was secretly patronizing him.
Arthur told Lorry of his engagement to Madelene an hour after he told his mother–he and Lorry were heading a barrel as they talked.

 Haber's Art Reviews: Andrew Wyeth and Arthur Dove at the Whitney
This spring it showed Arthur Dove, an early modernist who left for New England as if to hide from Cubism.
All well and good, but in practice the Whitney creates a poor cousin of the Met's "Origins of Impressionism." I feel the same deadening of innovations, the same refusal even to imagine what happened when painters left the Village and art entered the museum.
The Whitney now looks so familiar, in fact, that one easily forgets a key part of its structure.

 Remembering Ken Iverson
Arthur Whitney, from collaborating with Ken on Practical Uses of a Model of APL [6] in 1981-82, inventing the rank operator while on the train ride to the APL82 conference in Heidelberg in 1982 [22, 23], and implementing SHARP APL/HP in 1986 [18], went on to Morgan Stanley in 1988 and there invented A [24].
We were assisted by suggestions from many sources, particularly in the design of the spelling scheme (E.B. Iverson and A.T. Whitney) and in the treatment of cells, items, and formatting (A.T. Whitney, based on his work on SHARP APL/HP and on the dialect A reported at the APL89 conference in New York).
Another example is Arthur Whitney’s “one page thing”, which was the final thing I studied (for one week) before writing the first line of source code for J. Over the years, I have benefitted enormously from such careful reading.

Every language teacher knows that the beginning student cannot and should not have to assimilate every minute detail of grammar the first time around--that is why there are intermediate and advanced courses.
Whitney's book, originally published in 1956, is not a beginner's book, nor a teach-yourself book, nor even a textbook.
Whitney's can be useful, but he introduces grammatical minutae far in advance of their use to the learner and gives an extensive vocabulary for each chapter even when most of it is irrelevant to what is being learned in the chapter.

Over the past few days I had the opportunity to take part in a series of workshop-esque K4/Kdb+ run-throughs by Arthur Whitney interwoven with presentations by Kx/First Derivatives customers as well as the 20th birthday party of the British APL Association.
It's been stunning to see customers present those complex, multi-terabyte analytic systems in some cases built by a team of precisely 1, and one has to wonder how much more productive those people will be with K4.
To hear Arthur Whitney himself detail some of the thought he has put into the language, tell stories about its creation and his background, answer some never-asked questions and validate some long-held assumptions (as well as dispel some others ;-) was simply awesome.
