...player of a melody instrument, Brueggen's foremost interest is in the declamation of the most immediate musical units. He maintains, justifiably, that the long-line concept (climaxing in Wagnerian "endless melody") simply did not exist for the Baroque performer. Overall, his playing is clearly articulated, with careful attention to dynamic inflection, colorful ornamentation, and intimate shaping of each individual phrase. For some listeners, his approach may seem to personal--too free in rubato, too extreme in the use of swell and vibrato. But, here it is necessary to keep in mind that there is substantial historical evidence in support...
...portable, battery-operated calculators have endless and obvious applications on the job. A Miami fruit grower carries his around to estimate the yields ripening in his apple and orange groves; a Maryland cartographer bought one to compute distance ratios on his maps; a Florida-based jet pilot keeps his in the cockpit to reckon flight times.

About half a million mini-calculators have been...

...General Mohamed Barre, while the Second Class Order of the same medal was bestowed upon the Sudanese Vice President, Major General Mohamed El-Bagir. Then Big Daddy decorated members of his own armed forces for meritorious service during the recent border skirmishes with Tanzania, handing out a seemingly endless number of "Distinguished Service Orders," "Military Crosses," and "Victorious Service Crosses." During the lengthy ceremony an elderly Asian fainted and was carted off to an ambulance, betel-nut juice dripping like blood from his slack mouth...
