...your country say that its prestige has risen one inch? From this war you have gained absolutely nothing, and in the eyes of public opinion you have lost very much. Absolutely nobody can say a good-word about this dirty war-except a group of persons waxing rich on it. History will never forgive the U.S., and those responsible for the American policy should realize this full well...
...mezzo-sopranos, on the other hand, usually end up on the limelight's fringes, portraying a disappointed rival or a sister-and wishing they were sopranos. As a result, the soprano field tends to be overcrowded. Two decades ago, Bronx-born Regina Resnik, a dramatic soprano with a rich lower range, found the field so overcrowded that even her widely recognized abilities were not taking her to the top.

...nothing new (see map). But the plans for the Penn Central were the most am bitious yet. As Saunders promoted them, his tireless determination seemed to promise eventual success.

You can take it from there, but you don't really have to. A third character--a friendly bisexual Italian parasite--serves as catalyst...
...hero of this German movie, based on an autobiographical short story by Thomas Mann, is a boy with a 19th century-style identity crisis. Father is a rich and rigid businessman of the North; Mother is a warm-blooded romantic from the South who plays the mandolin and could hardly care less that Tonio fritters away his time writing bad poems and getting bad marks at school. Tonio appreciates this permissiveness but disapproves of it; his father's strictness seems more dignified: "After all, we are not gypsies living in a green wagon...
