...audiences. Pedestrians, after all, have their minds on bills and backaches rather than on Telemann partitas. With no investment in a ticket, they find it easiest to review a performance with their feet: they keep on walking. Hence a by-God spontaneous response is the street musicians' sweetest reward. A Seattle group called Brandywine (violin, hammer dulcimer, guitar, bass) will always cherish the moment during the Fat Tuesday celebration when its galloping rendition of the William Tell Overture so inflamed a woman bystander that she bounded up onto a horse behind a mounted policeman.

...first Eastern title in the University's history and the end of a six-year Princeton reign, brought the sweetest satisfaction to a team loaded with record-breakers and sharp personalities.

...this year, without Humphrey's personal buoyancy to keep its diverse elements happy, the D.F.L. let its natural factionalism run wild and handed the G.O.P. its sweetest sweep anywhere in last week's election. Republicans seized both of Minnesota's seats in the U.S. Senate, took over the Governor's mansion and loosened the D.F.L.'s grip on the state legislature by gaining a tie in its lower chamber...
