Phobias are not random. We tend to fear anything that threatens our survival as a species. When times change, new fears develop, but the vast majority fit into one of four groups.

"Like the sorcerer of old," writes Urie Bronfenbrenner, "the television set casts its magic spell, freezing speech and action, turning the living into silent statues so long as the enchantment lasts. The primary danger of the television screen lies not so much in the behaviour it produces as in the behaviour it prevents: the talks, the games, the family festivities and arguments through which much of the child's learning takes place and through which his character is formed. Turning on the television set can turn off the process that transforms children into people.

Almost all the great strides in music before 1914 took place in two cities, Paris and Vienna. It would be rash to offer any neat explanation for this; the simultaneous presence in Paris of Picasso and Stravinsky, for instance, is suggestive, yet the two men did not meet until 1917, some years after the revolutions of cubism and The Rite which have often been considered analogous. Schoenberg in Vienna was associated with such men as the painter Oskar Kokoschka and the architect Adolf Loos, not to mention his pupsils Berg and Webern. But just as important as the support of this sympathetic circle was the stimulus of more general opposition. "Maybe something has been achieved," Schoenberg said towards the end of his life, "but it was not I who deserves the credit for that. The credit must be given to my opponents. They were the ones who really helped me."
