Similarly, "Gravity's Angel" and "Blue Lagoon" are quiet, meditative pieces in which Anderson's soft strange voice lulls the listener over calm, lush synthesiser settings. On "Gravity's Angel", she alternates her voice between a high whisper and an unexpressive monotone while the music (like "Born Never Asked" and "Let X=Y" on Big Science) breaks in and out of slow, staccato climaxes. "Blue Lagoon" is a static, serene number, which contains one of Anderson's funniest vocal effects since "Walk...
...only other couple with similar ambitions were the Americans. Blumberg, 26, and Seibert, 24, chose to skate to Rimsky-Korsakov's lush symphonic suite Schéhérazade. Under the tutelage of Bobby Thompson, a British coach close to Torvill and Dean, the pair had revamped their style over the past two years. In 1983 the effort paid off with a bronze medal at the World Championships. They had come to Sarajevo with real hopes for a silver, but finished in fourth place after being marked down .3 of a point below the panel's average...
Back in Washington, Kissinger called the accusation "a lie." Shultz then flew on to Brazil, landing without fanfare in Rio de Janeiro. At week's end, he was enjoying a tropical round of golf with an aide at the lush Gávea Golf Club prior to a scheduled hourlong meeting on Monday in Brasilia with the country's military President, João Baptista Figueiredo. Once again, progress toward full democracy was liable to be discussed: Figueiredo will step down from the country's most important remaining nonelective political office in March 1985, probably in favor...
...contemporary described him, toughed out the lean years. He worked as a hand on sugar-beet ranches and wheeled 100-lb. barrows of concrete as a construction worker at Madison Square Garden during a stay in New York City. The publisher of his first novel, Cup of Gold, a lush fantasy about the pirate Henry Morgan, promptly went belly-up. So did his next two publishers. It was not until 1935, with Tortilla Flat, a somewhat arch dramatization of the lives of Mexican Americans, that Steinbeck had his first success...
Both saw Literary grist in the Waugh-like war in Grenada. Naipaul, says his London agent, came "to take some mental pictures." Thompson, says his New York editor, was after "a Hunter piece." The anecdotes are as lush as the Grenadian jungle. Staying at a nearby hotel is a CIA man who lives like a bat, eating beans and canned Dinty Moore stew and going out only at night. Then there is Morgan, the inmate at the bombed-out mental hospital, who turned up one evening playing piano at the Red Crab. Because of his light complexion, he was taken...
