Lightning arpeggios bounce from clarinet to oboe. A perfectly articulated trill decorates a French horn solo. The musicianship is impeccable. But technics aside, the Dorian Quintet-the world’s most active wind quintet-has several exceptional features: a completely booked calendar (75 concerts in 1973), a nearly six-figure collective income and an ample inventory of music to play. Music to play? “Yes,” sighs Jane Taylor, the Dorian bassoonist, “I’ve seen other wind quintets disband simply because they’ve run out of things to play.
The candidate is short, boyish despite graying sideburns, and dresses with dash. His hands constantly go to his receding hairline. As he steps away from the pulpit of a synagogue in Queens (because it is “too formal”), in order to address his audience from the aisle, he looks like a misplaced Johnny Carson. Only rarely does Adam Walinsky publicly display the toughness that won him the sobriquet “Adamant Adam” while he was Robert Kennedy’s premier speechwriter.
The Center for the Intrepid, a dazzling tower of technology built for U.S. combat casualties, would be the envy of any of the 1,000 amputees and burn victims from Iraq and Afghanistan wars — among whom I recovered from battle wounds as an embedded reporter in Baghdad three years ago. The exercise equipment we had at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington was old, the therapy wards and gyms overcrowded.
There's stuff like what you see above all over the place. Which isn't to say that there are massive, flying, snake-like dragons everywhere, but that there's mystery around every corner. The first time you experience a lightning storm in Hyrule, for instance, is especially memorable. Better unequip all the metal you're carrying as soon as possible, lest you get blasted to pieces by a massive bolt of lightning from the sky!

In 1992 at the Royal National Theater, Nicholas Hytner reclaimed "Carousel" as a tale of almost unbearable sorrow and wisdom allied to a score whose pleasures just wouldn't quit. Trevor Nunn, in his musical debut at the National, makes a nearly comparable case for Rodgers & Hammerstein's more popular "Oklahoma!."

Paul McCartney never wrote "Maybe I'm Amazed." He never formed the band Wings. He never clashed with Yoko, became a vegetarian, or fathered any of his children. When Queen Elizabeth knighted him in 1997, she was actually knighting someone else. This is because, conspiracy-minded Beatlemaniacs say, Paul McCartney secretly died in 1966. Theorists claim the other Beatles covered up his death hiring someone who looked like him, sang like him, and had the same jovial personality.

Smithsonian botanists last week declared themselves astonished. In their hands they held some giant clover leaves sent by J. W. Thompson, a Seattle plant collector. He had found them growing on Washington sage brush slopes. He had never seen their like, nor had the Smithsonian men. Each plant was nearly two feet high and bore flowers almost two inches in diameter. Most of the 300 species of clover have triple leaves, like the shamrock.
