...marriages, teaching and lucrative concert tours, he managed to compose 20 musical melodramas, ending with a preposterous oriental olio called Mr. Wu that he left unfinished when he died in 1932. Most of his concoctions were unqualified flops, partly because Composer d'Albert had difficulty deciding whose horn he was tooting-Puccini's or Richard Strauss's. The only currently heard remnant of his life's work is Tiefland (1903). Often played in Germany and occasionally produced in the U.S., it has now been painstakingly embalmed by Epic...

The delighted crowd chanted for Matador Aparicio to take the driver's place, but he politely declined. Then an enthusiast leaped down from the public seats, raced to the truck cab to renew the battle. The crowd roared as it recognized Toledo's Mayor Joseé Conde Alonso. Secure in the driver's seat, the mayor circled the arena with the truck, looking for a chance to ram his enemy...
...scrub cypress trees by continuing machine gun and rifle fire. At 4 o'clock, with a white truce flag in his hand and a U. N. observer carrying a walkie-talkie behind him, Flint moved to the flat top of Mount Scopus. At 4:50 General von Horn's headquarters received word from Flint: "Evacuation of wounded is about to begin...
