...Walker sees it, one of the biggest obstacles in coming to terms with Liszt is the man's protean nature, which invites the common misapprehension of him as superficial. But as Walker's gripping narrative unfolds throughout the three volumes, the astounding depth as well as breadth of Liszt's legacy emerges. Yes, he was a sensualist, but it was also Liszt, tireless in his charity work, who invented the benefit concert, who realized the piano's vast potential and created the modern piano recital, who became the first modern conductor, concerned with musical lines, color and expression rather than...
That raised an obvious question. Could these compounds have resulted from earthly contamination of the meteorite during its long Antarctic layover? Not likely, says Richard Zare, a Stanford University chemist who developed and used the analyzer that detected the PAHS and other meteoric hydrocarbons. The researchers performed a "depth profile" on the meteorite, and although no pahs were found on its crust, they were found inside the rock. Had any of Earth's abundant PAHS seeped in, says Zare, he would have expected to find more contamination on the outside than in the interior...
...unified voice, for there are corporation types advocating business tax cuts sitting next to small business spokespeople urging payroll tax elimination. Minimum wage detractors live next to work-study students. Young people for and against protectionism come together from across the country, from Alabama to Vermont.

If the future of the party rests in its youth, then the 21st century will bring much of the same diversity of ideology that challenges Big Tent Republicanism...
...returned to an underwater hell: the silty tract roughly twice the size of Rhode Island containing the human remains and the wreckage of TWA Flight 800, about 10 miles off the coast of Long Island, New York, and 120 ft. below the surface of the Atlantic Ocean. At that depth, the water temperature dropped to 50 degrees, and pressure crunched face masks painfully against foreheads and chins. Visibility was limited to a few feet, but the visions were nightmarish. Scattered shards of the doomed airliner sprouted myriad electric wires and cords waving medusa-like in the undersea currents. Some...
...sound could come from a modest, dumpy woman. She shunned the spotlight, and unlike many of her musical contemporaries, never made the headlines with extracurricular antics. She rarely made the rounds of talk shows to project a personality, but let her singing speak for her. Her black voice gave depth and beauty to white lyrics at a time when there wasn't even a pretense of racial justice. She sang these songs, including their little known verses, with feeling and a sensitive comprehension of the articulation and melody of the famous craftsmen who created them. EDWARD W.
