...reproductions, Norrington's 80-player ensemble is made up of London free-lancers, many of whom also play in similar bands like the Academy of Ancient Music and the English Concert. In rehearsal, he leads his players with forceful gestures, cries of encouragement and vivid, running pictorial images that mirror the music's story. "It was only a passing shower," he tells the strings in the Fantastique's adagio. "Now you might live again . . . supposing she is with somebody else . . . you're exhausted . . . what Berlioz says about this part is that the drums define the silence...
...world filled with large, mysterious beings. Portrayals of innocence or helplessness stalked by danger produce responses that are largely involuntary and hence all but fail-safe: a reader's skin crawls, a moviegoer looks away from the screen or screams. One variation on this formula is its mirror opposite: an evil child is born into an unsuspecting, defenseless society. This situation crops up in folk literature, with tales of changelings or of sleeping women seduced and impregnated by incubi, and occasionally appears in popular entertainments like The Bad Seed and Rosemary's Baby.

Upstairs, in a room decorated with children's posters of properly placed tongues, Brooks sits in front of a mirror. He puts a button-size plastic ring on the tip of his tongue, draws it into his mouth, and presses it up against the ridge behind the front teeth. It is an exercise against the tongue-lolling tendency that Inman-Ebel says characterizes 70% of Southern speakers. She says many Southerners suffer not just from forward...
...sellers has truly created some strange monsters. Nothing in the cultural history of the Western world, for example, could be weirder than the spectacle of Michael Jackson, a man who has changed his race via countless operations on his face, singing "I'm looking at the man in the mirror/...I'm gonna make a change.." completely seriously. Not only is Michael Jackson a semi-human entity who makes the headlines of the Weekly World News seem downright normal; he is a hero for the youth of America. Think about it. A hero for the children of our country...
