...Beethoven was born December 1770 in Bonn, in what is now Germany. Beethoven, like most musicians, began his career early. His father, a tenor, pushed him to learn the piano, violin, and music theory with a brutal zeal that included floggings and time spent locked in the cellar. Beethoven would often improvise, only to be reprimanded by his father: “You are not to do that yet.” By age 13, Beethoven had already become the court organist and had published several compositions...
Columbia capped off the big day for the Ivies in the nightcap, venturing over to the Bronx to take down Fordham 23-17 and bring home the Liberty Cup for the first time in three years. The Lions, the preseason pick to be the Ivy cellar-dweller, had the same offensive concerns as Princeton and Dartmouth.

Not Ruth, Gehrig, Mantle, and Joe but Ruth (as a pitcher), Foxx, Williams, and Dom. The group recounted bygone Boston glories and dared to predict future victories. From such hushed intercourse, movements are born. These renegades with their neckties, bow ties, wingtips, and dedication...
...certain that he had a moral obligation to correct the computer's error. Perhaps it would be easier to be moral if the computer had given him only $10, but would it be utterly wrong to do nothing? With winter coming on and the furnace muttering in the cellar, the Target felt that he needed the $1,000 more than the computer...
