...nearby, smashing the windows in the stairwell and sending a shard of glass into her forehead. Ten minutes later, she emerged to survey the damage, daubing the blood from just above her hairline. The corner bedroom of her fourth-floor apartment and all the rooms below it were a heap of rubble and twisted steel...
...Complete Mozart Edition, an unprecedented (and somewhat futile) recording project undertaken by Phillips to present every note the composer penned (even as musicologists discover new ones, each less significant than the previous), still clutters the shelves. Similar ventures by other recording companies add to the heap of re-releases (at last count, the Sony classical catalogue included no less than three different box sets of Mozart re-issues).

Although the earthy Aldonza cannot understand why Don Quixote does not see that "the world is a dung heap and we are the maggots that live on it" and really cannot understand why he thinks she is a virgin, Quixote's idealism grows on her, as it does on the audience.

The man who remains at the very heart of rock legend has never become any more than a trivial celluloid figure, shooting with increasing rapidity toward the margins and fringes of the film universe's great trash heap. The pile is already overflowing. Masterpieces featuring Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder (together) lie there and fester. And they're joined by the works of Christopher Reeve, Sophia Copola, whoever played Enzo the Baker (favorite line: "Hello, I'm Enzo the Baker, don't you remember me?), Mark Hamill...
