Description

The Lives of Isaac SternNo single American could personify what Henry Luce called the American Century. But over his eighty one years, Isaac Stern came closer than most. Russian Jewish parents brought him to San Francisco at ten months; practice and talent got him to Carnegie Hall, critical acclaim, and the attention of the legendary impresario Sol Hurok at twenty five.

No single American could personify what Henry Luce called the American Century. But over his eighty-one years, Isaac Stern came closer than most. Russian-Jewish parents brought him to San Francisco at ten months; practice and talent got him to Carnegie Hall, critical acclaim, and the attention of the legendary impresario Sol Hurok at twenty-five.

As America came of age, so too did Stern. He would go on to make music on five continents, records in formats from 78 rpm to digital, and friends as different as Frank Sinatra and Sir Isaiah Berlin. An unofficial cultural ambassador for Cold War America, he toured the world from Tokyo to Tehran and Tbilisi. He also shaped public policy from New York and Washington to Jerusalem and Shanghai. His passion for developing young talents--including Itzhak Perlman, Pinchas Zukerman, Yo-Yo Ma, and Midori--led him to loan instruments to needy players, broker gigs for Soviet migr s, and reply in person to inquiring fifth-graders.

As the first historian to mine his papers at the Library of Congress, David Schoenbaum traces Stern's sixty-year career from his formative years in San Francisco to concurrent careers as an activist, public citizen, chairman, and cultural leader in the Jewish community. Wide-ranging yet intimate, The Lives of Isaac Stern is a portrait of an artist and statesman who began as an American dreamer and left a lasting inheritance to his art, profession, and the world.

Sturdy, great value, very utilitarian
Size: 50 Count
Exactly what I wanted. Exact quality thickness and sturdiness. Only small downside is they're coated in a wax like substance and stick together so you have to pry them apart and if you microwave something, it tends to meld together and also stick into the bowl. But I still love them especially the price.

amazing quality for the price
Color: Glitter-9oz-60
These 9 oz gold plastic cups were the perfect finishing touch for our elegant shower theme. The hard plastic feels sturdy and high-quality and definitely not the flimsy disposable kind you might expect at this price point. The gold glitter finish added just the right amount of sparkle and sophistication to our décor.

Cute and elevated
Color: 10-Gold-100
These are really cute and really elevate our client experience at a minimal investment. We offer a complimentary glass of champagne to our clients and we use these as an addition to serve juice, soda or water. They are durable and pretty think, much better than using a thinner red solo cup and the gold addition the cups really makes them look expensive.

Great cups for any occassion!
Color: 9-Silver-200
These cups worked great for the rehearsal brunch and we were able to use the rest at one of the beverage stations at the reception. They were very good quality and the silver ring around the top added extra sparkle. Highly recommend!
