...Clinton Arrowood for revealing their spiritual side: they are dedicated musicians. There is no indication of this in Donald Elliott's didactic text, a series of short essays in which the instruments of the orchestra archly explain their characteristics. Thus the bassoon: "I am something of a deep thinker." Somehow, this unpromising libretto inspired Arrowood to portray each instrument being performed by one of his bewigged and frock-coated reptiles.

...Bears head coach, Jack Pardee, "is an excellent coach and a positive thinker," said Jiggetts. As a result of Pardee's attitude and the Bears' status as a very young ballclub, the coach has the team's "spirit up again," said Jiggetts. Another benefit of the team's relative greenness is that it has made it a "very easy transition" to the big leagues...
