...Lars Johan Werle's opera Animalen, among other events, the multipurpose hall is the new home of the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, the Minnesota Opera and the Schubert Club, a local recital sponsor. In appearance, it recalls a Victorian men's club, with a generous use of mahogany and brass, both in the spacious lobbies and within its two auditoriums. The seats--between 1,815 and 2,000 in the larger, depending on the configuration of the stage--are a warm shade called terra cotta, and a blue patterned carpet covers most of the floors.

When Amagatsu moves diagonally across a stage past two huge brass circles in Jomon Sho, the movement is a piece of modest majesty that sets down a single, perfect line in Sankai Juku's geometry of mystery...
Their hopes are not to be, however, as all signs point to a landslide Domenici reelection. The Pratt campaign, hampered by inexperience and unable to get more than lukewarm support from moderate and conservative party brass, has not been able to get off the ground. Domenici, whose $2 million coffers outnumbers ten-times the Pratt treasury, is getting nearly 80 percent of the vote from all the pollsters...
