...about the comment in a press conference the next day, shot back: "I've heard [Obama] talk about compromise and negotiation and bringing people together. I believe there's a fight in front of us. I don't believe that the defense contractors, the oil companies the pharmaceutical companies, et cetera, are going to give up their power willingly and I don't think we can sit around a table and be nice to them and they're going to relinquish the power that they have today. And that means you've got to have somebody who will fight...
What's legally defined as "champagne" in most of the world comes only from a specific 84,000-acre (34,000 hectares) region. An 80-year-old French law carefully maps where the grapes--pinot noir, pinot meunier and chardonnay--can be grown.

...evening’s last piece was Suite No. 2 from Ravel’s longest work, the ballet “Daphnis et Chloé.” The musicians took liberties with tempo and dynamics that would likely have been impossible if dancers had had to keep up, but for the BSO, the piece was a fitting rollercoaster ride of an ending. The balance between the sections of the orchestra was precise in this piece, and the ensemble succeeded in producing a full and lively sound that evoked visions of the ballet’s pastoral, frolicking nymphs...
