Epic romantic drama based on Margaret Mitchell's Pulitzer-winning
novel set during the American Civil War. Southern belle Scarlett
O'Hara (Vivien Leigh) often uses men to get what she wants, but is
unable to get the one man she truly desires, Ashley Wilkes (Leslie
Howard). She soon meets her match in the roguish Captain Rhett
Butler (Clark Gable) and in the war itself which destroys the
genteel way of life she has always known. With determination she
rebuilds her life from the shattered remains the Union Army leaves
behind. Despite its sometimes troubled production (director George
Cukor was replaced by Victor Fleming, with Sam Wood brought in when
Fleming's health failed), the film won ten Oscars, including Best
Picture, Best Director and Best Actress.

compound her great-grandparents built almost a century before, but
due to erosion, the once-grand home will soon fall into the sea.
Bess must now put aside her complicated memories in order to pack

women, and by the very last day of the very last summer at Cliff

set to be cut short when he discovers that both she and the Doctor

caves currently being roamed by the killer Magma Creature... In

TARDIS, which he plans to use in his latest scheme to take over the

Charles Rosen, the pianist and man of letters, is perhaps the
single most influential writer on music of the past half-century.
While Rosen's vast range as a writer and performer is encyclopedic,
it has focused particularly on the living "canonical" repertory
extending from Bach to Boulez. Inspired in its liveliness and
variety of critical approaches by Charles Rosen's challenging work,
Variations on the Canon offers original essays by some of the
world's most eminent musical scholars. Contributors address such
issues as style and compositional technique, genre, influence and
modeling, and reception history; develop insights afforded by close
examination of compositional sketches; and consider what language
and metaphors might most meaningfully convey insights into music.
However diverse the modes of inquiry, each essay sheds new light on
the works of those composers posterity has deemed central to the
modern Western musical tradition. Contributors: Pierre Boulez,
Scott Burnham, Elliott Carter, Robert Curry, Walter Frisch, David
Gable, Philip Gossett, Jeffrey Kallberg, Joseph Kerman, Richard
Kramer, William Kinderman, Lewis Lockwood, Sir Charles Mackerras,
