  Moura - NYRB Classics
In Moura Budberg, a woman who shrouded the facts of her life in fiction, Berberova finds the ideal material from which to craft a triumph of literary portraiture, a book as engaging and as full of life and incident as any one of her celebrated novels.
Moura is revealed as a true femme fatale, capable not only of enchanting men but of luring them into turbulent, even dangerous waters.
Moura certainly kept her head when all about her were losing theirs, but once you have read Nina Berberova's pungent portrait of her, you cannot help thinking at least a little bit about those people who did not succeed in keeping theirs.

 Eduardo Souto Moura
But as Antonio Angelillo's analytical essay makes clear, Souto de Moura is as little interested in dusting off models of the early modern movement as in a simplistic adaptation to the context in which he has to build.
Souto de Moura denies that the modern movement has radically altered the typology of housing and emphasizes the similarities between Roman patio houses and the 'court houses' of Mies van der Rohe.
From 1981 to 1990, Souto Moura was assistant professor at his alma mater, and was later appointed Professor at the University of Oporto Faculty of Architecture.

Paulo Moura is Brazil's greatest saxophone and clarinet player: his prowess defies explanation.
This recording is a live concert devoted to the music of Pixinguinha performed by clarinetist Paulo Moura and an octet called Os Batutas, which is pretty hot--Moura is a terrific technician and they play some of these pieces faster than you'll ever hear anywhere.
One could sometimes wish that Moura paid maybe a little more attention to intonation, or at least played on a reed that was less than 20 years old, but it's clear that everybody's having a good time.
