...street. "Did you notice I took off my jewelry?" she says, smiling. "They copy." How to describe the chaos?with monkeys swinging in and out of dilapidated, baroque façades, sugarcane presses spewing smoke, and dozens of men (there are very few women in sight) pursuing De Taillac. "Hallooo, halloo. You buy emeralds. You want Indian rubies?" they cry, tugging at her clothes, and when she stops to look over a handful of lemon quartz, she causes a traffic...
...original Russian version, the word is nevezhda, which means "an ignorant person." Krokodilovy slyozy, which translates literally as "tears of the crocodile," derives from a Russian fable similar to the Western tale. Hullabaloo, which harks back at least to the 18th century English wolf-hunting cry of "halloo-baloo," appeared as shumikha, which means "uproar." Hooligan is simply khuligan in Russian, with precisely the same meaning in English...
...turns up nothing that is not representational, nothing whose style or execution departs any considerable distance from the work of Frederic Remington or Charles M. Russell, the great turn-of-the-century cowboy artist.

William and his attractive wife, Jane, 24, organized the Wicomico Hunt Club, love to halloo after hounds across their fields. William is unlike many a gentleman farmer. His farming success is due not to the efficiency of hired supervisors, but to the long hours of gritty, grubby work he himself does afield. But by last week it was apparent that he can play even harder than...
French Horn Masterpieces, Vol. II (James Stagliano; Paul Ulanowsky, piano; Boston). An ear-opener for listeners to whom the French horn is little more than an operatic halloo. The composers are Russian and French, most of them dyed-in-the-brass romantics: Gliere, Cui, Glazunov, Tchaikovsky, Scriabin, Dukas, Faure. The most interesting work is Francis Poulenc's sparsely angular, twelve-tone Elegie written in tribute to Britain's late, great hornist, Dennis Brain. The Boston Symphony's Stagliano summons a rich, clear and remarkably controlled sound...
