...Boston Youth Symphony Orchestras under the direction of David Commanday. The youth orchestra's performance was exuberant and technically sound; they played with a finesse one might not have expected to hear from a youth orchestra. The youth orchestra was followed by a soulful performance by the Tanglewood Festival Chorus. Their treatment of three spirituals was excellent; "Ride the Chariot" especially sparkled.

That wasn't enough for Fong, who painted the Senator as a hypocrite who led the chorus of protest against Republicans Clarence Thomas and then Senator Bob Packwood when they were accused of sexual misconduct, but was now giving Clinton a virtual pass. "Barbara," said Fong, "your silence on this is deafening...
