...this progress seems to lack any clear objective beyond that of maintaining Harvard's high academic standing and standards. And while this is an undeniably praiseworthy goal, it does not embody any vital or constructive concept of the purpose of a Harvard College education...
...Richard Nixon, 46 that day; Speaker Sam Rayburn, 77 that week. Then President Eisenhower set about "showing" the 86th Congress by refusing-even with the Communist planet orbiting the sun and the U.S.S.R.'s Anastas Mikoyan orbiting through the U.S.-to change the measured pace of his own concept of living with cold war.

The major problem, she finds, is "getting a new idea of Bach across" to orchestra men chiefly schooled in the romantic repertory of the 19th century. In describing her ideas, she avoids technical detail, often uses phrases like "Keep it broad!" Once, during rehearsal last week, she cried...
