ELLIOTT CARTER, PART 1 Elliott Carter has become a rapid composing machine lately; you could probably fill whole programs during his centenary celebrations in 2008 with premieres.
"The thing that's getting lost here is that the government has already built whole programs in these organizations that it is now throwing out," Ms. Miller said.

Beyond that, Gilman says, "you have to start asking whether you cut whole programs and close facilities".
Until last fall, says Bdeir, "we were seeing a lot of large custom orders, where companies were developing whole programs around [our products], and we didn't have anyone really dedicated to or responding to their emails".
Most fault-tolerant application programs cannot cope with constant changes in their environments and user requirements because they embed policies and mechanisms together so that if the policies or mechanisms are changed the whole programs have to be changed as well.
