...opening “Promenade” theme in B-flat recurs frequently throughout the piece, though with different tonal shadings. Levine directed the orchestra through a broad and majestic “Promenade,” which contrasted sharply with the subsequent, darker movement depicting a crooked-legged gnome scurrying about. The trumpet solos were particularly successful in carrying the main theme throughout the work despite the many interludes. As in the overture, Levine was able to create rolling waves of sound in building the tensions of the piece, but always pulled back the swells with the regularity...
...free kick and then Schweinsteiger whips the ball into the area where any number of German players attack it. For Germany's second goal, it was Miroslav Klose, not the biggest German at a mere 1.82 m tall, but he could have been no taller than a garden gnome and scored as he was completely unmarked, putting Portugal in a hole from which it never recovered. Ronaldo was still to be heard from, but Germany never figured to contain him for an entire game. Sure enough, in the 40th minute he came screaming down the left channel and fired...

Follow the driveway to the rear of his otherwise ordinary house, and the mountains form a natural amphitheater around what is pure show business.

He characterizes the latter as "licorice all-sorts-anyone who doesn't understand what the sign is. Locals, interstaters, people from overseas. Just never-ending...
...Before buying the business three years ago, the gnome farmer's most relevant experience was laying concrete paths. As Myers puts it, he was "bored of doing nothing." But these days his hands are full. Once a figure is sold, he'll make another by pouring concrete into one of the fiberglass molds in his Aladdin's cave of a shed. People will also bring in broken statues. "This one here is unrepairable," he says, lifting the head off a gnome that was recently retrieved from a garden. "He's been knocked around-knocked around with a sledge hammer. Buggered...
