news.ycombinator.com Justis Mills 2025-12-26 09:22:38

I’ve had the first volume of Richard Nixon’s memoirs on my shelf since high school. I got them because of a childhood inside joke, and only recently got around to reading them. The volume ends with Nixon’s first term, though there are portentous intimations, occasionally, of what came after. I’ll start with rolling narrative observations, then a grab bag of details that I found fun, then my favorite excerpt to close out.

In many ways Arvo Pärt and John Williams’s music couldn’t be further apart.

And yet the two men are today’s most performed contemporary composers. Bachtrack’s annual survey of classical music performed across the world placed Pärt second (John Williams is in the top spot) in 2023 and 2024. In 2022, Pärt was first, Williams second.
