41.   And Saturday comes the word.

42.   And when word comes of a big pay package for some newly hired executive, pressure builds to raise the pay of other corporate chieftains.

43.   And then, Monday, the word came that Flatow had been murdered by terrorists as she studied abroad.

44.   And then, out of this clear blue scene, came word from Japan.

45.   And this is the only section in the score that directly responds to the culture from which the words come.

46.   And, for three more months, no word came.

47.   Another word came to mind with the Angels.

48.   As midnight neared, word came over the police wireless that someone in a nearby neighborhood had seen the creature.

49.   As soon as the word came out of his mouth, I cringed.

50.   As I raise my feet and sit on my slab bed, the word Dantesque comes to mind.
