...with Giuseppe Verdi’s “Overture to La Forza del Destino,” an opera that follows the story of two clandestine paramours. The overture foreshadows the impending tragedy with a dark, surging theme which was gradually accelerated by Yannatos’ conducting.

...them again for "an interim report," 7 Plus Seven. That made the habit official, and every seven years since the British telly audience has watched the tykes grow up and old, take their lumps, fight life to a draw - and talk about almost all of it - in a unique string of bio-docs.

A string of ancient cities known as the "Anatolian Tigers" are enjoying annual economic growth rates of over 10%, doubling their exports - mostly to Europe and the U.S. - over the past five years. "We are already in the E.U.," a local businessman, who sells jeans to Zara and Lee, told TIME...
