...Instead of saying 'Good Evening,' " says Jacqueline Du Pré, recalling the night four years ago when she first met Daniel Barenboim at a London party, "we sat down and played Brahms." He was a coiled, compact and energetic Israeli of 24, and one of the best-known young pianists in the world. She was 21, and already Britain's leading cellist, a tall, smiling, shy English lass with a stunning kind of farm-fresh beauty. Instant karma. Two weeks later, Barenboim decided he wanted to marry Jacqueline. Six months later he did. Thus began...
...shrink and sing. While, from the screen's bottom left, shots of the International's mammoth kitchens. Great, grotesque hunks of institutional meat. Barrels of dough. Bread for the circus.

...here. You know, Ward," he said in a very tired drawl. "I'm bout as old as you are, and that's pretty old. I jes don't know how long I can keep going." Ward made a half-hearted attempt at a recovery, and then smiled a PR man smile until the engineer n the booth mercifully switched back to Jim McKay. The next day Ruby ran very fast, but blew up two engines without completing the four qualifying laps. His crew toiled diligently through the week, and Ruby eventually qualified the team's backup car during the second...
