- Name That Sound Bite
- </hdr><body>
- <p> Can you name the former baseball player heard on Meatloaf's
- song Paradise by the Dashboard Light? (Phil Rizzuto.) In what city
- is the opera Carmen set? (Seville, Spain.) These are typical
- questions in a new board game for the sound-bite generation,
- called Play It by Ear. The game is equipped with a compact disc
- containing 381 different sounds in 12 categories, including
- speeches, famous sports moments and TV trivia. The package
- offers nearly 1,800 questions for 24 separate games, and it's
- a hit. Rykodisc, which makes the $45 game, has sold 50,000
- copies in its first month on the shelves.
