Schundler's Wrest
Friday June 29, 2001

  • TITLE: "Schundler's Wrest" A long, long reach for a half-baked pun on the title of the 1993 Steven Spielberg movie "Schindler's List."



  • "... Jersey City..." Jersey City is not exactly buried in the outback of New Jersey. It is directly across the Hudson River from Manhattan - deep in the New York Times circulation area, and has a population of 228,000 people.

  • "... Cell Phones..." Cellular phone service was approved by the FCC specifically to allow more telephone service to drivers. In the olden days a "mobile phone" was really a radio transmitter which connected you to an operator who provided a dial tone from which you could make a call.

  • "... Mozart ..." From the Encyclopędia Britannica:

    Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus

    born Jan. 27, 1756, Salzburg, Archbishopric of Salzburg [Austria] died Dec. 5, 1791, Vienna
    in full Johann Chrysostom Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, baptized as Johannes Chrysostomus Wolfgangus Theophilus Mozart Austrian composer, widely recognized as one of the greatest composers in the history of Western music. With Haydn and Beethoven he brought to its height the achievement of the Viennese Classical school. Unlike any other composer in musical history, he wrote in all the musical genres of his day and excelled in every one. His taste, his command of form, and his range of expression entitle him to be considered the most universal of all composers.
