Rowers often talk about a particular "zen" to rowing. From a spectator's perspective, it is the aesthetics that is most breathtaking. Especially in late October, when the fall foliage creates a brilliant backdrop on the water's edge, boats cut seamless through the water, leaving behind only a shimmering trail of ripples. It is a sight that must be seen to be remembered...
...subsequently cleared by one of daddy's judicial pals. Both Georges vigorously denied the account, but that didn't keep Hatfield's publishers at St. Martin's Press from churning out 90,000 advance copies of "Fortunate Son." Now, in a twist that jibes nicely with George W.'s seamless good luck, Texas law enforcement officials have decided that J. H. Hatfield is in fact James Hatfield, who served time for the attempted murder of his boss 11 years ago. Hatfield disputes the charges, but St. Martin's Press has suspended printings of the book and is notifying booksellers...
...gets seamless ensemble work from the year's most agreeable, most cannily chosen cast. These, after all, are not-quite stars playing not-quite supermen. They grow in the roles as they grow comfortable in them. By the end they have cobbled together an A-minus comedy about B-plus people. Every other action picture is about the impossibly outsize Them; this one is about the just barely heroic Us. It's about making the best of your small talents--about looking in the mirror and, despite all evidence to the contrary, smiling back...

A seamless donation--whether you're fully clothed...
Take, for instance, the cadenza in the first movement of Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 1. Other pianists too often drift from the Classical period provenance of the concerto, when cadenzas were improvised, and play the cadenza with a near seamless bravura that is more suited to the concertos of the Romantic composers, thereby losing its sense of extemporaneous drama--and obscuring many of Beethoven's boldest, and funniest, inspirations. Not Brendel, whose subtle emphases, infinitesimal pauses and canny modulations of tempo, color and dynamics create an air of spontaneous adventure. He reclaims the cadenza's magnificent audacity and evokes...
