...that he got the biggest applause of the night on David Letterman last Thursday when he repeated the "trust" mantra. Indeed, when Gore in the debate brought up the Dingell-Norwood bill, a bipartisan effort to solve the HMO problem, he might as well have pulled a shiny chrome instrument out of his back pocket and performed an invasive procedure on one of the Undecideds. In the face of details, Bush seeks refuge in his own good intentions, expressed in a warm bedside manner. "You can quote all the numbers you want. I'm telling you, we care about...
...John Cage, who incorporated actual noise into his work. For the soundtrack of Fly, Ono simply makes a succession of nerve-jangling vocal sounds--ululations and sudden shrieks, weird cooing and feline melismas--that are unworldly but unmistakably human.

From lyrical legatos to graceful pizzicatos, the three seemed to draw the best out of one another's sound. At one especially triumphant arrival, the passionate Meneses had his eyebrows furrowed painfully as Pressler perhaps unconsciously began to sing at the piano. In the third movement, Pressler showed again the flair of a seasoned performer...
...years combined. Mario Libertini, who teaches industrial law at the University of Rome, says Amato brought tremendous prestige to the Authority, but he notes that the body took on greater force after it started to levy heavy fines. "In the early years, there was very little use of this instrument," he says. "In the beginning, there was normally just an injunction, as if everything were a venial...
