...years, but he wasn't corrupt, and that anomaly?plus the widely admired interregnum comment?led to an amazing acceptance after Marcos' ouster, culminating in his appointment as Foreign Secretary in 2002. When I met him a few weeks before he died, Blas, 76, was short of step but lucid and humorous?and he never forgot to light a fresh cigarette directly after the previous one expired. He recalled the 1986 phone call in which he told Marcos the Reagan Administration's support was collapsing. "Blas," Marcos bellowed. "You know the Soviets. Can you give them a call?"

...plunks and skittering knock-knocks in Lou Harrison's Concerto in Slendro and also to the sustained, exalted moan of Mahler's Fifth Symphony?

The drives at WeaKnees.com--although pricey at $159 for 80 gigabytes, all the way up to $449 for 320 gigabytes--come with the software installed, all the equipment you'll need to wrench open your TiVo, and blessedly lucid instructions. I took longer than the estimated half an hour to finish the job but only because I have a hard time remembering which way you turn a screw to loosen it (lefty-loosey, righty-tighty, just in case you're wondering).
