Four of the remaining five players notched shutout victories, including Eve Caligor at number four, Margot McGlade at five, Marina Casteneda to seven, and Meg Lesser at nine...
...warrents such commercialization. Reliance on ticket sales and unspecified patron donations all too often has forced the country's symphony orchestras to cut-down on concert schedules, to cut-down the players' salaries, and to program concerts to appeal to a wide audience, thereby foregoing the lesser-known though equally deserving works.

This, he predicted, would produce "eventual conflict on a scale which cannot adequately be described by any lesser term than civil war." Warming up to the war metaphor, Powell called skin color "a permanent and involuntary uniform which performs ... the functions of a uniform in warfare, distinguishing one side from the other, friend and foe, making it possible to see at a glance where to render assistance...
