Required coursework



An informal interview with Tamara Hovey Gold, sister of composer/musicologist Serge Hovey, and, like her brother, a one-time student of Arnold Schoenberg. I love the fact that one of the mandatory classes for UCLA music education majors was a composition class with the founder of the Second Viennese School.

Following in her her mother's footsteps, Tamara Hovey had a few credits as a screenwriter—most notably the Mario Lanza truck-driver-becomes-a-star classic That Midnight Kiss and the Dorothy Dandridge vehicle Tamango—before turning her hand to biography, penning lives of George Sand and John Reed.

I have just read Tamara Hovey's " John Reed : Witness to Revolution" which is excellent. Googling, I found your blog. Do you know if she is still alive and, if so, how could I contact her ?

Blogger has an out-of-date e-mail address for me. Now I'm at David.Grace131@btinternet.com

Delving into the legal doctrine of frustration and its narrow application to commercial leases under property law is incredibly fascinating, but translating these complex contractual thresholds into a structured, academically rigorous legal analysis is a massive challenge. I got completely overwhelmed last week trying to synthesize historical common law precedents, force majeure clauses, and changing jurisdictional rulings for a major property law case study. I ended up turning to coursework help online to get my legal arguments and comparative case tables properly structured. The team did a phenomenal job helping me break down complex statutory and contractual frameworks, which was an absolute lifesaver for getting my final legal report completed accurately and submitted on time.
