Several months back Joseph Pehrson posted,

>"By 1910 he [Ives] was so thoroughly committed to such rash
adventures that everyone who knew him except his wife, Harmony
Twitchell, considered him a crank..." . . . Man, it's amazing what was
published in 1966. Would the same be published today?? I rather
doubt it -- times have changed,

And I responded,

> You really think so? I don't know, but I'd tend to think that Ives'
"respectability" will probably fall in and out of favor (or vogue) for
quite awhile to come.

This article, "The Many Faces of Ives" by David Schiff, offers a
pretty good account of what I was trying to get.
