...sort of reverse Manifest Destiny, American sports leagues are looking east to grow, and have zeroed in on Europe as a fertile frontier. "You can play the music and buy the CD, but the band has to tour occasionally," NBA Commissioner David Stern told TIME. "This is a way of cementing our connection with the fans...
...Rockies insist that that story was somewhat overblown, and that not every player thumps the Bible behind the clubhouse doors. It's true that men's magazines and rap music are just as prevalent in the team's locker room as around the rest of the big leagues, but Christianity plays a key role in the makeup of the National League pennant winners.

With its hyper-awareness to the drama of sound (instead of the drama of a plot, as in “La Sylphide”), classical ballet positions are translated into exquisite poses that seamlessly flow from one to the next...
