...images for worship, and dormitory building in which the temple's 75 monks slept. I was taken into the dormitory section and brought to the room of the monk I had met outside who became my host.

At 5 a.m. everyone gets up, bathes, and begs for alms at houses throughout the city. Between 6 and 6:30, breakfast, which consists of polished rice...

...other hand, pianists have become too literal. As a result, if you are going to hear Beethoven's "Emperor" Concerto, unless you are listening to a really great artist like Artur Rubinstein, all the "Emperors" sound alike.

Perry and Hamill are simply swallowed whole by the myth they hoped to destroy...

Four hundred winter people lived on the island 70 years ago, but residents have been moving to the mainland and its more varied jobs for years. An exodus of the remaining young families would be the killing blow. The post office, the general store, the snow plow and even the daily ferry would stop. The island, still populated by descendants of its 17th century settlers, would become...
