...mass machine-gun executions, in death-camp ovens, in torture chambers. Though some viewers may be tempted to turn off the horror, Green does everything in his power to keep the audience transfixed. Once some early exposition is out of the way, his narrative races along at a relentless pace, spinning off subplots and love stories as it goes. Green knows the drama speaks for itself, so he never bothers to halt the action for gratuitous sermons or quotes from Santayana...
...relentless protests compounded what had been bad airport planning in the first place. Few airports in the world are as distant from the city they serve as Narita. The designers envisioned a 125 m.p.h. bullet train and a freeway to link the airport with Tokyo. But protests halted the necessary land acquisition, and neither system was built. As a result, when the airport finally opens, travelers will be forced to take a two-hour, $50 taxi ride (or two-hour, $8.50 airport bus) to the city; and because of heavy traffic, they will be required to check in at least...
...real Freed was indeed a Messiah of rock and roll, but not for its own sake alone. He had lots to gain.

Some 200 employees are engaged in the tracing of new sources, designing covers and books, filling mail orders and printing. Of the 200, Blanche and Hayward remain the most relentless in pursuit of their quarry. When their son and daughter were grown, the Cirkers, now grandparents, moved from Long Island to Washington Square, and now their day, which begins officially at 9 a.m., never truly stops. Blanche Cirker ransacks the mail for the titles of favorite books remembered by readers...
...Presto finale, Kogan again handled the improvisational parts and the entire movement easily and clearly, exciting the audience with a relentless, surging Tarantella. The orchestra, particularly in the expansive violin sections, played almost as well as Kogan. The orchestra as a whole was not quite as precise as Kogan, occasionally sounding muddled, but kept up the light and jovial pace and achieved an impressive, full sound almost throughout the piece, especially in the last movement...
