...Frills. For balletomanes who know the Bolshoi, the Kirov offers a striking contrast. Where the Bolshoi is flamboyant, dramatic and unabashedly fond of popular acclaim, the Kirov is precise, understated, a trifle aristocratic. The Bolshoi's prima ballerina may dash the length of the stage to leap into Prince Siegfried's arms with breathtaking drama in the Black Swan pas de deux of Swan Lake; Zubkovskaya takes a few brief steps and makes the leap with a rippling grace that is equally breathtaking. The Kirov's tempo is more often a stately adagio than a flashy presto...
...saddle-sore cowpoke would walk half a block to watch a race between thoroughbreds-skittish, no-account critters that can't do anything but run. But for the chunky, docile quarterhorse, the cowboy has the fond attachment of a co-worker and friend. Bred for blazing speed over extremely short (up to 870 yd.) distances, today's racing quarterhorse is a blood brother of rugged, hard-working range horses.

...face appears suddenly in the depths of the font and the holy water bubbles to a rolling boil. The scriptwriters have also provided an unwittingly hilarious line. After slaughtering five sheep and draining them of blood, the werewolf, now a fat little boy, is called to lunch by his fond stepmother. "Aw, mother," he pouts, just like any other little boy called in from play, "I'm not hungry...
Many of the Union's members sport a round pin bearing the word DO, which stands for the WCTU doors-open theme ("Doors Open for Christian Sobriety"). "Do" is also the WCTU's favorite word. Members are fond of sentences with lots of energetic do's, like "Do not be afraid to do whatever you can do to stop your friends from purchasing food in supermarkets that do sell beer and malts." The slogan for the coming year is "Double...
