...certainly got both of those here in Cambridge. His first challenge was recovering from a broken ankle which he suffered when high jumping over his prefreshman summer. Doctors told him that he would never compete again, but after a lot of therapy and work. Udo was back on the runway in time to finish second at the indoor Heps...
That synchronization is broken when the male chorus comes scrambling on in identical blue business suits. All the flurry and the coy comic extravagance of having Ko-Ko, the Lord High Executioner (Baritone James Billings), carry on like an insurance salesman who has been crushed beneath his quarterly projections set a pace that the singers cannot match.

It must also demonstrate humility by keeping in close contact with undergraduates and striking the aloof clauses that let it operate in private. Maybe then the embarrassing, underlying fact will change: this year, as in years past, only about 20 undergraduates deeply cared about a student government that should be of interest...
