Perhaps the only weakness is that the practice could become repetitious. For many Washington politicians, only one recipe is both favorite and fitting. It begins and ends with the culinary instruction: "Pour whisky into a glass...
...concert opened with "three short pieces to be played (without break) in the form of a suite." Moshell's intriguing idea of flanking Ravel's Pavane pour une infanta defunte by two works of Stravinsky (Scherzo a la Russe and Feu d'artifice) worked well. But there was a lack of crisp rhythmic and textural precision in the performance of the Stravinsky pieces (problems which were evident in most of the orchestra's playing); the "Fireworks" in particular included some ambiguous string playing and a weak transition back to the fast material.

A four-story white building with a chocolate-tiled roof, Mon Club has one regulation and four practice tennis courts, a stable with eight horses, a gym, a soccer field and two heated swimming pools. For indoor fun there are two television rooms, a cinema and even a discotheque. Next year the hotel will have a skating rink, a golf course and a small zoo. Knowing that all play and no work makes Jacques un enfant terrible, Fischler also included a library, a photo...
