Papageno's fate has often been taken as proof of Mozart's aristocratic bias. Tamino, after all, is initiated and Papageno is not. But Mozart was not a nobleman, and his comedies often satirize aristocratic pretension. It is more likely that Mozart meant to celebrate the common man's virtues as well as the prince's, to suggest that a certain kind of lofty nobleness of character is not for everyone. Bergman took this view so much to heart that he ended the film with his own vision: Papageno and Papagena embracing in a circle of lively, tow-headed kids...
...woman spent 17 days in a revolving door having flashbacks. Christmas means tragedy, the time when the soaps' already high body count rises. Women are interchangeable blondes who shuttle between two roles: Mother Mary and Lilith. The strongest, in fact the only motivation is love, and the dynamic is fate. Moral principles are enunciated only when they are about to be discarded...
...Angeles. It was a prophetic debut. At 32, Susan is still jerking tears. For seven years, she has been the troublemaking Julie of Days of Our Lives whose voluptuous cleavage and lustrous black eyes get her every guy in Salem except the one she really wants -Doug Williams.

Its fate will depend largely on the success of the strategy that U.S. restaurateurs are using to overcome the stigma of shark: capitalizing on it. At Gatsby's restaurant in Atlanta's American Motor Hotel, for example, Catering Director George Gold promotes his baked mako by putting 16-in. stuffed...
Such is the fate of culturally stranded objects. Perhaps the most extreme example of it in "Treasures of Sacred Art" is a 16th century reliquary from the Collegiate Church of Calcata, north of Rome. Two elegantly slim silver-gilt angels hold up a casket surmounted by a crown, studded with rubies and emeralds. It is traditionally believed to contain the only relic left on earth by Jesus Christ. True, Christ ascended bodily into heaven before the eyes of the astonished Apostles after his resurrection. But he had been circumcised in the temple as an infant, and the Holy Foreskin, preserved...
