...this course fails," said one key man, "it would hurt the prospects for future black courses. There is great concern over demonstrations against the course, fear that an attempt will be made to close it down.

The two male soloists sang adequately, Robert Gartside's illustrative facial antics notwithstanding. I wished for vastly superior pronunciation from everyone concerned. The highlight of the Mozart...
