	Parsifal (Wagner) - Music
		Wagner wrote once to Liszt: "In all my relations to the suffering world, I feel led and guided by one thing alone -- compassion."

		In the last part of the Act a profound impression is made by the clangour of the cathedral bells, at first heard faintly, then working up to a grand peal.
		The sensuous beauty of the Second Act, devoted to the presentation of the working of the evil element, is in marked contrast to the First and Third Acts.

		It is one of the greatest mysteries of Wagner's genius,how he could change his style from the ecstatic chromaticism of Tristan to the optimistic, straightforward C-major tonality and counterpoint of the Meistersinger.
		She shines in the third act Quintet however, and contributes wonderfully to one of the most sublime moments in the opera.
		The acting is detailed, very human, and on repeated watching one picks up little true-to-life bits that one didn't notice first time around, often the mark of a great director.

	National Labor Relations Act - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The National Labor Relations Act (or Wagner Act) is a 1935 United States federal law that protects the rights of most workers in the private sector to organize labor unions, to engage in collective bargaining, and to take part in strikes and other forms of concerted activity in support of their demands.
		The Act does not, on the other hand, cover those workers who are covered by the Railway Labor Act, agricultural employees, domestic employees, supervisors, independent contractors and some close relatives of individual employers.
		The Act was passed in order to divert those violent conflicts into more manageable channels, by granting workers' legal rights to form unions and to bargain collectively, while creating an administrative mechanism to determine whether they wanted union representation.

	Reconstructing The Wagner Act
		In his opening statement to Congress, Senator Wagner chose to emphasize the economic, not the philosophical reading of the Wagner Act, explaining that cooperation between employer and employee was key to achieving recovery.
		The significance of the passage of the Wagner Act lay as much in the growth of the administrative powers of the Federal State as in its protection of the right to organize.
		Not only was that phrase coined and included in the language of the Wagner Act, but the NLRB actively sought to put an end to the anti-union practices of employers and their effects.

		It is not, of course, the individual moments of orchestral splendour which make this great - brilliant as they are in their reinvention of orchestral sound - but the slow, dramatic evolution from sinewy strife to purifying fire that takes an hour and a half out of your life to play itself out.
		You need Wagner by the act full, although this composer is addictive in those quantities.
		Conductor Edo de Waart held the whole act together with disciplined momentum, though for me the performance was more successful in the first half.

	Charles R. Eckert / Land, Labor and the Wagner Act
		Speaker, the National Labor Relations Act is being acclaimed by labor as one of its greatest achievements in the long and weary struggle for its rights.
		In the light of me teachings of the leaders of labor and the decisions of the Supreme Court, it is but natural that practically everybody is entertaining the thought that, with the Wagner Act and related legislation securely on the statute books, labor is about to enjoy its just rewards.
		Candor impels the necessity to remind labor that the enjoyment of the full fruits of labor can come to pass only when the basic element of production will be available to all on equal terms and the rights of the people to their God-given inheritance restored.

	Worker-Management Cooperation in the Non-Union Workplace (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-02)

		Wagner understood that success for the firm depended on workers offering their intrinsic (uncoerced) group cooperation in exchange for managerial commitment to norms of group fairness in decisions affecting job security and distributive share.4
