...fill the first, 22-mile-long section of the canal (the rest of its 50-mile length is scheduled to open next year). As the waters rushed in, the Royal Jordanian Army's British-trained pipe band tootled The Campbells are Comin', swarthy-faced men in Arab headdress surged forward to kiss the King's hand, and happy crowds swarmed around Ambassador Macomber crying in their best English, "Hello you, hi, hi!" The U.S. contributed a relatively modest $7,500,000 to the project, showing that even limited aid can be successful if given at the right...
...chorus, a kind of corps de ballet of 14, chants in Greek and uses body English to underscore, but not undercut, the action. In their pleated rust-brown gowns with cowled headdress, the women often resemble the caryatids on the portico of the Acropolis' Erechtheum.

He remembered lean Eamon De Valera, clad in long underwear, donning huge boxing gloves and sparring with his bull-necked secretary in a sitting room of the old Waldorf. It sometimes seems that Fowler...

Regally got up in golden headdress and pearl-spattered green gown, she floated onto a moonlit stage in the second scene of Act I and filled the house with warm and lustrous sound in her beautiful aria Tacea la notte. With a fine economy of gesture and movement throughout the long evening, she acted a passionate Leonora...
