...visually distracting, especially in a room the size of the Kirkland JCR; they are didactic and insulting to an audience generally capable of appreciating Bach's subtleties on its own; and, most important, they are bound to distract a performing musician from his real business, which is to channel his expressiveness into the sounds he is producing. If instead it is trapped by some sort of external physicality, it is ultimately the music that suffers. This was the case with Buswell's slow movements, which for all his contortions seemed to communicate respect for the music rather than genuine feeling...
Year-Round Passage. During its first full-scale tests on Lake Ontario, the Alexbow, attached to a 65-ft. barge pushed by a 1,320-h.p. tug, cleared a 30-ft. channel in unbroken blue ice 14 inches thick. It also knifed 180° turns as though the ice were butter. Running at speeds from 21 to 31 knots, the tug accelerated easily in thinner ice because there was no friction along the sides of the barge - the Alexbow had thrown all the troublesome chunks clear...

Harvard students have been so persuaded of their own intelligence that they are not awed by professors, or by almost any thing about the University. This attitude, I think, is quite different from that of almost every other university...
...will be at least a year before Britain can take part in the West German-led resurgence. Meanwhile, Britain-like its neighbors across the Channel-will be watching the U.S. to see how it acts to balance its payments and bolster its economy (see THE NATION). For any cutbacks in foreign investment by U.S. firms, or a more aggressive export policy, would be felt immediately everywhere in Europe...
