Saturday's BBC Radio 3 "Music Matters" program
(www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/musicmatters) includes an interview with John Adams
about the publication of his "Hallelujah Junction" musical autobiography
and the Met production of "Doctor Atomic." From the program:

  "...[Is] Adams - the ultimate North Californian musical
  liberal, now part of the establishment? It seems not. Adams
  tells me he believes that, thanks to his controversial opera
  'Death of Klinghoffer,' he is now on a US homeland security
  list, which means he is taken away and questioned every
  time he checks in at an airport: 'Many artists, and many
  thoughtful people in the country are being followed', he
  says."
