...slicker fingernails, but Brisco-Hooks the happier feet. As she screeched through the curve, her 21.81 time made it two Olympic records for her, and the U.S. won the women's 4-by-400 relay on the last day of competition. Her trademark bulky glasses were discarded for contact lenses; a row of braided bangs fell across her forehead like a beaded door hanging. She ran like a cougar, like Evelyn Ashford...
...Britain's attention: during a visit to Peking last April, Howe acknowledged for the first time that China would enjoy total sovereignty over Hong Kong after 1997. But he presented two unequivocal demands: that the colony be allowed to preserve the hyperkinetic free enterprise that is its trademark and lifeline, and that it continue to enjoy some autonomy...

Glass describes Act V of the CIV IL warSas his "romantic" opera. The repetitive rhythms and melodic figurations that are his trademark are still present, but the score is suffused with an Italianate warmth and passion that explicitly recall Verdi in some passages. The most dramatic of these occurs when Garibaldi, who has been sitting in a box placidly viewing the action onstage, suddenly interrupts to deliver an aria about his life that...
