I also acknowledge that the piece contained unsupported claims which were not put to Johnston Press.
Those are big words, but the piece contained some fine details.
This may seem extreme considering that the piece contains irreplaceable family heirlooms.
The video component of the piece contains footage of him on the job, happily greeting customers, assisting shoppers with pricing queries, and re-stocking the shelves.
The piece contains recorded snippets of the Metropolitan Opera star Enrico Caruso singing Verdi's "Trovatore," which are combined with the increasingly distorted music box sounds, suggesting the dissolution of an era, a gilded age enjoying its last gasp.
Set to music by Steve Martland, the piece contains a solo for Nickemil Concepcion that sets forth his wonderfully gutsy way with movement and also his gift for making clear quick-shifting movement textures.
In its initial online version, the piece contained this passage: "In both the Senate, controlled by Democrats, and the House, under the rule of Republicans, the minority is largely powerless to do anything but protest".
Though the piece contains glimmers of the semiotic wordplay that Mr. Johns engaged in with his neo-Dada works, "Ex Voto" feels like a facile latter-day version of the exercise.
Even in a performance as finely tuned as this season-opening account from the Philharmonia under its newly extended principal conductor, Esa-Pekka Salonen, one or two sections felt awkwardly crafted; yet for all its unwieldiness and the routine text by Emile Deschamps that stands in for Shakespeare, the piece contains some of the most electrifying orchestral writing of the entire 19th century.
The piece contains some affecting details, from O'Connor passing Ginsburg a kind note as she read her first opinion to O'Connor shooting hoops (missing the first, making the second) with the U.S. women's basketball team, and it evokes values that Ginsberg herself holds in high esteem: collegiality, understated directness, unflappability.
