| There would appear to be, therefore, less possibility of a president unscrupulously endeavoring to secure his legacy through war--that is, becoming a "war president" by instigating an unnecessary war or pursuing policies designed to provoke hostilities--when there is an effective makeweight. Though Berg's orchestration of three movements from the ``Lyric Suite'' on Friday and a nonvocal suite from Debussy's opera ``Pelleas et Melisande'' on Saturday seemed like unnecessary makeweights, Kaija Saariaho's ``Cinq Reflets,'' a half-hour song cycle created from her opera ``L'Amour de Loin'' receiving its West Coast premiere, had precisely the opposite effect, illuminating the Wagner on Sunday. That a bright-line physical-presence test, as in Quill, should be extended to the income tax area is made manifest by the analysis of the lower court's opinion in the Quill case, which had argued that a makeweight "economic presence" test should suffice for Commerce Clause purposes. |
