    WASHINGTON -- US President Donald Trump discussed a draft copy of a book by lawyer Alan Dershowitz that examines whether Trump could constitutionally serve a third term as president, The Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday. Trump's flirtation with the idea of a third term has alarmed opponents and constitutional experts, who say it would test the 22nd Amendment of the US Constitution, which Congress approved after Franklin Roosevelt was elected four times. The 22nd Amendment states in part that "No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice." But Dershowitz said he told Trump on Tuesday that the Constitution was not clear on the issue. He said that during an Oval Office meeting, he handed Trump a draft of the book, titled "Could President Trump Constitutionally Serve a Third Term?"

    The greatest composer of all time only lived to be 56 years of age and the Grand Maestro had so much, much more music to compose. One of the torch-bearers at Ludwig van Beethoven's funeral was the pioneering Franz Schubert who lived in the shadow of the great composer in Vienna. Schubert, himself a musical visionary, worshipped Beethoven at a distance and even though both composers lived in Vienna at the same time, there is no evidence to support that they ever met. Beethoven's 9th Symphony No. 9 in D minor, Op. 125 (Ode to Joy') is the national anthem of the European Union (EU). In Japan, "Ode to Joy" is played nationwide on Christmas and New Year's Eve.
