Senior Eddie Baker paced the Harvard men's cross country team with a 28th-place finish, while junior Leann Hymes crossed the line in 32nd place in the women's field Saturday at the 5th Br. John "Paddy" Doyle Meet of Champions at Van Cortlandt Park in the Bronx...
...that there is something inherently preferable about melody over improvisation, or ballad tempo over fugue. But Mehldau, like Bach, is at his best slowed down.

There are no stewardesses on this side of the curtain, yet the aroma of distinctly pristine food has wafted back to the 32nd aisle. Luckily, the curtain doesn't allow me to verify this suspicion, and adds another element of mystery to the world beyond its border. And despite its resounding message, nobody complains, and the airlines continue to keep us in our kennels because we couldn't afford...
