...zeal that matched the intensity (and volume) of the piece itself. On his podium, Abbado demonstrated what all great conductors should strive to do--he nearly became the music, in all of its near-violent splendor. By the time he finally put his baton down and turned to bow to the audience, his visible fluster and enormous smile, as well as the standing ovation he received, served as testimony to his and the orchestra's incredible performance...

One friend of mine carries only a pistol with him when he walks in the woods; he uses it to administer the coup de grace to deer that sloppy hunters have merely wounded. For myself, I sometimes wish that hunting were catch-and-release, that, as I do when muskie fishing, I could somehow throw the deer back...
