...that Zacharias began so auspiciously--his first movement sounded more like a walk in the park than the heartfelt and dignified statements of Schnabel, Kempff or Fleisher (though, to be fair, he stoked some embers in the cadenza that turned to flame in the third movement.) And not that the Tanglewood audience had attended so many concerts--they clapped sheepishly after the first movement, and many elderly among the crowd could be heard talking, giggling or loudly removing the plastic wrap from hard candies during the performance...
...that, if unremedied, would make it impossible to keep Mir operating as a research station. Rather than abandon Mir, the Russians worked out a way the crew could fix it: Tsibliyev and fellow cosmonaut Alexander Lazutkin would put on space suits and take an "internal eva"--an indoor space walk--to reattach the cables.

...opening exhibition, curated by O'Keeffe's controversial, longtime assistant Juan Hamilton, comprises 117 pieces and serves as a walk-through of O'Keeffe's career.

...same belief that led the producers of Dave to cast a herd of Washington newsies in that political satire, including NPR's Nina Totenberg, journalist-historian Richard Reeves and the McLaughlin Group. And TV buffs will remember Walter Cronkite's walk-on at the end of a Mary Tyler Moore Show episode more than two decades ago. With Contact, however, the journalistic community's sensitivity to the blurring of the lines between news and entertainment has caused some sober second thoughts. CNN president Tom Johnson said last week that in the future such appearances will probably be banned, bringing...
