Chemistry, CHAOS and Masonic Music

Winter 1987
I had been engrossed in my new book for quite awhile when I became conscious that in addition to reading, I had also been listening to Mozart's Masonic Music* on the stereo, along with AM talk radio personalities discussing politics. The TV was also on... a PBS program about chemistry. I chuckled to myself when I realized the irony in the fact that I was reading, CHAOS - Making a New Science**

* Mozart wrote this music for use in the Masonic Lodge.

** One of my all-time faves! Mine is a first edition - first printing. Bravo Mr. Gleick!
