...female singing duo, Rogers and Denike stregthen each other to create a brightly bold melodic complement, serving to gloss over the girls' disenchanted lyrical matter in a joyful purge. It almost seems, though, that if they were separated to perform as solo voices for more than their accustomed short sonic soliloquies, their individual efforts would eventually sound deflated and anything but resilient...
Fifty years after he did it first, he did it again. Chuck Yeager, the enduring symbol of flyboy coolheadedness under pressure, broke the sound barrier again, in an F-15. It was a farewell sonic boom for the 74-year-old, who has retired from military flying. "I just decided to go out on top, rather than wait for some doctor to ground me," he said. Not that grounding would be all bad. The following day, a British pilot broke the speed of sound in a land vehicle...

Units in other locations have also detected volcanic explosions, the sonic wave generated by landing space shuttles and even trucks...

Her muscular voice never strained, and she displayed impressive range and intonation. At times she could be sweet and velvety. Then she would let loose from the diaphragm and sing a chorus with no mercy. Such was the case with...
