...comments make everything click," Ellen Burkhardt '79, who sang a Mozart piece for the class, said yesterday. Burkhardt said Curtin's comments greatly helped her performance...
...most important-and unpredictable-factor, of course, is the weather itself. New England has had an unseasonably warm November, while last year's was "the coldest in 30 years," says the New England Fuel Institute's Charle Burkhardt. Unfortunately, that help may be ending.

By contrast, Linda Anne Kirwan is a gifted comedienne, handling the part of Pheobe with real comic flair and singing well, if less vigorously than her rival. Roberto Gaston makes an extraordinarily winning Fairfax, with his broad toothy...
