MARTIN LEE: Well, of course, if the Beijing leaders feel confident about their own position, then this goose factor, as well as the Taiwan factor, are important factors.
MARTIN LEE: I think there is in your country the U.S.-Hong Kong Policy Act, which requires the U.S. government, among other things, to support an elected legislature which was promised to us in the 1984 agreement.
MARTIN LEE: Because if the U.S. government does nothing when China is breaking an agreement, an international agreement, with another country, like Britain, by giving us an appointed legislature, instead of a promised elected one, then you are actually encouraging the Chinese government to break more future agreements.
Claudio Arrau at 85 (1776 words)
Krause was a remarkable musician: a fine pianist and teacher, he was born near Leipzig in 1853, and at the age of 30, played before Liszt for the first time.
Krause became the chairman of this institute, until it was disbanded in 1900.
Quite clearly, Krause's pedigree was considerable, and as a consequence of studying exclusively with Krause (the lessons began just before the outbreak of World War I in August 1914), Arrau had entered a central shrine of classical pianism.
