PARIS. A spectacular showcase concert hall has opened at the Cite de la Musique, the shell-shaped rosy white complex of institutions and advanced-research facilities devoted to musical study and performance.

They are pale, out of shape, dazed, confused and, having perfected their procrastination techniques, often know a great deal about the minute details of the O.J. Simpson saga. When two get together they will in fact often...
