...Cornell-Harvard Ivy League fencing match at the I.A.B. was much closer, but the Crimson bowed, 16 to 11. The varsity sabre trio won six out of nine bouts and was the only bright spot for the home team. Sabremen Manuel Cabral, Don Tingle, and Mike Woolf completely outclassed their respective Cornell opponents and each won two out of three times...
Turning 25, Japan's slender, donnish Prince Akihito downed green tea and bean cakes at a sedate trio of parties (one with his kin, another with Fiancee Michiko Shoda, a third with 60 old classmates at Gakushuin University), tentatively accepted a birthday gift designed to cement the bonds between the budget-conscious imperial family and a local construction firm: an offer to build the foundations and outer shell (cost: $150,000) of Akihito's new, 45-room palace for a kowtowing $27.78.

...grant that Rossini had a great talent for melody and for using the human voice superbly (he was a fine professional singer himself). He also knew how to score well for orchestra; no other work of Rossini is orchestrated with such elegance and nuance as Ory. And the bedroom trio in Act II is inspired writing of the first order; Berlioz was quite right in proclaiming this scene absolutely the finest music in Rossini's entire oeuvre...
