...come home again, after persistent knee problems aborted his comeback attempt with the Black Hawks this season and ended his glorious career much too early for himself and for the 14,654 who stood and cheered and screamed for a long, loud time while his former teammates banged their sticks in appreciation. The top brass--Harry Sinden, general manager of the Bruins. Schmidt, whose #15 was retired in 1955, Clarence Campbell, president of the NHL from 1946 to 1977, John Ziegler, his successor, Alan "Eaglebird" Eagleson, head of the NHL Players Association, and Ed King, whose current title I have...
Translating Gotterdammerung just forces casual listeners to notice these troubles, which they could ignore when they weren't following the plot carefully and just revelled in the glorious music. The music is what we respect Wagner for today; his ill-conceived theories about unity of drama and music, based on very frail analogy to classical Greek tragedy, now find few admirers, especially since he himself failed to apply them carefully.

Clearly the time has come to forget the Alamo, to struggle down memories of the glorious oil nationalization and to try some creative horse trading.

He has beaten the likes of Roscoe Tanner, Adriano Panatta, Eddie Dibbs and Corrado Barazzutti and on one glorious occasion even managed to knock off Borg, 6-3, 6-4, in Stockholm, of all places. Still, quite understandably, McEnroe has a long way to go before he can be ranked with Borg. Or Connors, whom he has never beaten and who destroyed him in the semifinals of last September's U.S. Open. McEnroe likes to have some fun paraphrasing what Connors used to intone...
...male escorts, dressed in tails, so she can dance away every minute of the ball if she so wishes. Photographers will be on hand, naturally, constantly taking candid and posed pictures, which they will gladly (and expensively) collate into a leather album. In this way, the memories of this glorious evening can, with a little prompting, glow in her heart forever...
