Rupert Goold's high-octane production — which includes drinking and smoking, a conga line and a rumbling printing press — plays out on Bunny Christie's Tony Award-nominated set, "a landscape of battered metal desks, stacked into rickety hills and valleys," as Ben Brantley described it in his New York Times review.

In the late 1970s, Ms. Carvalho was drawn to a new samba style: pagode, which grew out of informal backyard parties in Rio and was often played by musicians sitting around a table, adding instruments like banjo (tuned like a cavaquinho) and a conga-like drum called the tantan to typical samba lineups.

A man with a tattoo sleeve banged on a bongo and another waved a tambourine as they belted out the lyrics to Bill Withers&apos "Lean on Me." They were joined by about 40 children and some parents who danced around the band until it was time to gather into a conga line.

WASHINGTON — At the top of a shuddering escalator in a dimly lit tunnel this week, a conga drummer played and cameras flashed at the grand opening of the M Shop, a pop-up hawking $190 cuff links, $45 yoga pants and $46 bath towels emblazoned with the "iconic" (the ad says) brand of Metro, Washington's subway system.

The New York Philharmonic canceled an open rehearsal that had been scheduled for Wednesday morning, but a concert that evening will be held as planned: the New York premiere of Esa-Pekka Salonen's Cello Concerto performed by Yo-Yo Ma.

Clues of the Day for me were "Fox coverage that might be controversial" for FUR, not just for the very clever wordplay, but also for getting in front of a controversial topic (the use of FUR as a garment) and acknowledging it, as well as "Thoughtful gift?" for E.S.P., "Reproductive couple" for OVARIES and "Conform to the party line?" for CONGA.

But it was impossible not to be caught up in the benign giddiness of the Dutch as they danced and swayed and chanted and sang and conga-lined their way behind the orange double-decker bus that has served as the country's rolling mascot for the last two decades — first for just the men's matches, and now for the women's, too.

It's wrong because he tills every square inch of the surreal journalistic soil available to him during his own seven-day Caribbean cruise aboard the now decommissioned Celebrity Zenith (which he redubs the Nadir), but after 98 exhaustive pages of skeet shooting, conga dancing, fruit eating and existential despair falling, he fails to unearth what I believe is the flowering root of the widespread appeal of cruises: their unapologetic, gleaming banality.
