...Ramstein calamity showed the gaily painted jets performing the "arrow through the heart," one of the flashiest and supposedly easiest of their drills. Nine of the jets split into two formations and flew loops forming a heart, while trailing red, white and green smoke. The tenth, piloted by Ivo Nutarelli, 38, arched down in a solo loop intended to take him through the bottom of the heart as the two formations passed each other beneath...
...yelled, 'Oh, God,' and looked over my shoulder and saw nothing but fire," said Antonio Vivona, 29, the youngest member of the team. "For some damned reason Ivo hit Giorgio Alessio, the No. 2 in the left group, who then hit our chief, Mario Naldini." Vivona's jet was hit by flying debris, but he managed to put down on an emergency landing field six miles away...
Although strong sentiments were expressed for the continued involvement of the church in political and social affairs, there was deep division over the direction that commitment should take, especially in Latin America. Bishop Jose Ivo Lorscheiter of Santa Maria, president of Brazil's hierarchy, insisted that the controversial liberation theology movement does not "push toward violence."

Chopin: Piano Concerto No. 2 (Pianist Ivo Pogorelich, Chicago Symphony, Claudio Abbado, conductor; Deutsche Grammophon). These concertos, featuring two electrifying performers, are of unusual interest. Pogorelich has technique and temperament in equal measure; right from the piano's cascading entry, this is hot-blooded, Russian-style Chopin, more than a continent removed from the genteel salons of 19th century Paris. The Kremer-Marriner partnership in the Beethoven results in an elegant performance deliberately at odds with the customarily virtuosic way of viewing...
...game grows handsomely solemn when the Nobel Prize committee files into the mental boardroom. Literature degenerates into a responsibility. The Nobel Prize for Literature has of ten been set aside for the writer of greatest geopolitical obscurity (Yugoslavia's Ivo Andric, 1961). But the prize need not be a disgrace: a writer can rise above it. Saul Bellow (Nobel, 1976) has managed. Isaac Bashevis Singer (1978) has done what the greatest and liveliest usually do: he has made a world, a lost, magic place fall of God and demons and strange, tumbling life...
