Only four minutes into the game, Harvard crushed any doubts as to its scoring abilities by putting the ball in the back of the net off a corner kick. Assisted by junior forward Naomi Miller, senior forward Lindsay Minkus slid the ball in the net after a scramble in front of the goal...
With nary an indication of a downbeat from Gatti, the lower strings slid into the haunting opening strains of Schubert's Unfinished Symphony, displaying a rhythmic alliance so perfectly refined that it truly seemed as if only one instrument were present. The placement of the cellos between the second violins and the violas allowed for a heightened clarity, producing a concentrated, almost sinewy tone that typified the Allegro Moderato. The first movement elapsed without any fiery outbursts; Gatti instead focused intently upon the lyric strains of the oboe and clarinet. His conducting was comprised of a fairly conventional fluidity...
...they were a cohesive group, not just a haphazard all-star assembly. The ease with which McBride navigates his hulking instrument was immediately apparent.

It was an apt starter for the show--giving audience members a hook to appreciate the band's stylings in a midtempo format before blowing them away with...
What's infuriating about the denouement of the Divisional Playoffs isn't that Seattle and New York were gypped (That is, if you really believe that Sandy Alomar slid across home plate without leaving any dirt on it).

As the Thai baht slid 25% against the U.S. dollar over the past 12 months, other currencies also fell. Then stock markets swooned. Economist Behravesh predicts little growth (1.5%) this year in Thailand, after an annual average of 9% for the past decade. But it will rebound to 3% in 1998. Indonesia will grow...
