Stores were not the only institutions that had to adjust to the weather. While some club meetings and planned events were canceled because of the storm, several prominent events, including common casting callbacks for Harvard’s spring term theatrical productions and an evening Mozart concert performed by the University Choir, occurred as scheduled, although the choir concert sent out e-mails announcing that last night’s performance would be free...
...computer-science professor at Michigan State; his mother taught computer programming. When he isn't working, Page spends his time staying fit (his latest passion is windsurfing) and playing with gadgets, like his new TiVo-type radio device.

Instead of presenting their beat-heavy street tales, the hip-hop duo, at the request and advice of the promoters, brought a rock band to the concert in order to appeal to the college crowd. The mixture didn’t work...
