Subject: Re: note on the meanings of 'break'

Clinton, in referring to his knee injury, was quoted as saying "I had an
unlucky break."
Apparently the word can imply an interruption in a string of favorable
events as well as a string of unfavorable events. However, the 'unfavorable
change' is definitely the marked meaning, since the word 'lucky' is optional
in: "I'm waiting for my (lucky) break."
