...Each of the Star Wars soundtracks has its own character. Star Wars: A New Hope draws most strongly from Wagner, with a big, bursting, inspiring soundtrack that keeps the energy and lift all the way through to the climactic elimination of the Death Star in the "Battle of Yavin."

...hope eagerly awaited the returns. Across town, in an auditorium draped in blue-and-white bunting, Likud backers stood around glumly, like pallbearers at a funeral. At 10 p.m., as polls closed around the country, all eyes at both headquarters turned to the TV screens. But wait. Anchorman Haim Yavin announced that there would be a delay before the first projections could be broadcast; an error had been made in feeding data into the computers. The minutes ticked away.
