...seconds the earth shook, crumbling houses and shops into rubble. Some survivors wandered in the streets, wailing in anguish as they searched for relatives and friends. Others huddled dazedly over fires in the open fields. A driving rain and heavy winds made the night miserable, and morning brought two more earth tremors. El Marj had lived through bombing and battles during World War II as British and Axis forces took and retook the town. But the quake flattened El Marj as war never did. Rescue workers said that not a single house remained habitable, and the Libyan Red Crescent appealed...
When his Boston Celtics are on the basketball floor, Coach Arnold ("Red") Auerbach, 45, sits hunched forward on the bench as if it were the edge of a razor blade, his face flickering between anguish and rage. He once punched a heckling rival club owner in the mouth, has nearly come to blows with innumerable referees, and by his own reckoning pays something like $400 a season in fines for arguing too much.

"Opera is an art of convention," she says, "and no one appears ridiculous who has dramatic command of the role." Her voice, chilly in its lack of vibrato but warm in its swelling power, makes her best for the German opera, and the summit of her ambition is to sing Isolde. Crespin and her Alsatian husband live quietly on a demanding musical diet dictated by her commitments...
