...lighting and costumes. Luckily, dancing alone is not the focal point of this classic holiday performance. It is a long ballet, longer than most at two hours, and includes a continuous change of scenery and characters, posing a particularly difficult feat for choreographers. Also, a large part of the action relies on children, who despite their training at the Boston Ballet School, inevitably lack the precision that comes with years of training.

...work of the printer. As Hulsey puts it, in setting a line of a poem the difference between its looking right and looking wrong is sometimes less than half a point. A few assembled stanzas laid out this way glimmer like distant, crowded constellations. Then the cylinders, wheeled into action by the big arm-crank, roll across the runway of the text, inking the letters and catching up a page in the flight of its own making...

Maybe today's rudeness is an off-shoot of the culture of protest and action that is a characteristic of the Harvard Square scene. What worked so well for the Vietnam War or civil rights is now applied to everyone's own peccadilloes and fixations. The female pedestrian obviously felt she had the moral high ground to handle me in any way she saw fit since I was a hazard to humanity and therefore deserved no part among society...
