In the week before the big game, these two national totems crossed paths in Times Square, which has been transformed into a thirteen-block theme park called Super Bowl Boulevard.
Other musical building blocks -- themes, for example -- hardly figure in his processes at all, although now and then a melodic fragment teases the ear.
This was also true of the concerts abbreviated final block of three themes from The Mission, the 1986 film for which Mr. Morricone wrote one of his finest scores.
Neighboring blocks share general themes like "arts/ entertainment": the "Oz" costume, for example, is next to the television marionette Howdy Doody.

Since the listings began in 1988, the trust, created by Congress but using only private money, has identified nearly 150 one-of-a-kind sites, helping to block a Disney theme park from the Manassas battlefield in Virginia, for example, and sparing the Chancellorsville battlefield in Virginia from encroaching development.
