1. The reality of the sweating brow

Many, perhaps most people listen to music with the hope that it permits them to step outside of the world as it usually is, the demands it places on us and the ugliness that so obviously mars it. People gravitate to music’s bright melodies, infectious rhythms, and perhaps especially to lyrics that, whether Beethoven’s or Beyoncé’s, give us some kind of life-raft or a phrase that clarifies our condition.

2. Journalists, Writers & Literature Professors Targeted in ’2083: A European Declaration of Independence’ Manifesto

Anders Behring Breivik, the Norwegian man accused of killing more than 90 people in a coordinated attack, appears to have written a 1,500 page manifesto. Entitled 2083: A European Declaration of Independence, the document called for a European revolution and outlined plans for a similar attack.

The New York Times confirmed the authorship of the manuscript: “The manifesto was signed Andrew Berwick, an Anglicized version of his name. A former American government official briefed on the case said investigators believed the manifesto was Mr. Breivik’s work.”

In his horrific manuscript, Breivik wrote about different classifications of “traitors,” or individuals he felt could be killed during his imagined revolution.  In his handbook, he suggested that revolutionaries consider attacking both “literature conferences and festivals” and “annual gatherings for journalists.”  We’ve included multiple excerpts from his manuscript below–follow this link if you want to find the text.
