...substitutions and a flood of mistakes. The Cowboys fumbled four times and were intercepted once. But the fumbles bothered less than the long pauses for huddles and time-outs. Accustomed to their weekly compressed broadcast of top games with edited nonstop action, British followers of the sport are a highlight hybrid, completely at sea among the delays of the actual event. "I didn't realize they had this many commercials on American television," said one British fan. "I've never seen so much standing around. It makes cricket seem almost action-packed...
...reasons for the match, no one really knows whether the bride and groom will get along. British sports fans' love affair with the National Football League has been no exception.

One highlight of the festivities was provided by Rudolf Nureyev, 48, the Paris troupe's artistic director, and Mikhail Baryshnikov, 38, his counterpart at A.B.T. The two Soviet-exile superstars joined French-born Actress Leslie Caron in a nostalgic recreation of dances from her movie musicals. The evening's host was another...
...voices (in the famous B-flat minor, Op. 117, for example). He captures the autumnal quality of these short, profoundly simple pieces. Unfortunately, though, his overly ponderous tempos sometimes lack for dynamic and rhythmic drive. The filler on the disk, the tulmultuous Rhapsody (recorded in 1982), was surely the highlight of Gould's second and final Brahms album, and the same is true here...
