 Rotten Tomatoes: The Vine: depths of la Cosa Nostra
This decision to maintain Edward's waltz for the first few moments, and not the love theme, could be construed as the residents viewing him as the inventor's monster (an obvious Frankenstien connection).
Edward's waltz is played tearfully by the strings and ends the piece with a single gong from a distant church bell, signaling that the inventor's monster is finally dead.
Edward's waltz is the base, although the piece ends with the haunting choir and a reprise of the Ice Dance theme.

 Elgar - A Short Biography
She married Edward in opposition to her aunts and cousins (her mother had died in 1887) who considered that in marrying the son of a mere tradesman, a music teacher without prospects, she was marrying beneath herself.
Elgar dedicated the symphony to the memory of King Edward VII, who had recently died but the composition is much more than an expression of national mourning for a much loved monarch.
In short, she had been the driving force behind his genius encouraging him and proclaiming his talents at every opportunity.

 Scapegoats -- A Defense of Kimmel and Short at Pearl Harbor (review)
Formal investigations found that Kimmel and Short had been seriously derelict in their duties, and responsible for the lack of preparedness.
Author Edward Beach tries to show why the Pearl Harbor naval base was unprepared for the Japanese attack, and who was to blame for the Pacific Fleet's lack of readiness.
My belief is that General Short and I were not given the information available in Washington and were not informed of the impending attack because it was feared that action in Hawaii might deter the Japanese from making the attack.

 Amazon.com: Books: Classics: A Very Short Introduction (Very Short Introductions)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Through these sculptures John Henderson and Mary Beard prompt us to consider the significance of the study of Classics as a means of discovery and enquiry, its value in terms of literature, philosophy, and culture, its source of imagery, and the reasons for the continuation of these images into and beyond the twentieth century.
Designed for the general reader and student alike, A Very Short Introduction to Classics challenges readers to adopt a fresh approach to the Classics as a major cultural influence, both in the ancient world and twentieth-century--emphasizing the continuing need to understand and investigate this enduring subject.
If they had deleted Chapter 3, which is a disclaimer of any belief in the "superiority" of the Classical tradition, and if they had avoided sticking the word "classics" in italics at odd places throughout the text, as though we might have forgotten what the book was about, I would have enjoyed it more.
