Friday evening's Paine Hall concert offered works by four student musicians currently enrolled in Walter Piston's composition seminar: Stephen Addiss '57, John Bavicchi 4G, John Crawford 2G, and Nicholas England 1G (the letter D was somehow overlooked). All the music was written, I understand, during the present academic year...
...Crawford's two-movement Trio for Clarinet, 'Cello and Piano was the most distinguished in content. The fast, dry style of the first movement was appropriate for the constantly intriguing rhythms. But fewer internal stops would have improved the result. The second movement got off to a fine start, then wandered with little purpose, but came to a haunting close whose effectiveness a third movement would have impaired. A major virtue of the piece was the restraint of the piano writing. The piano was an equal participant in the proceedings, and not, as in many such works, an overpowering mass...

When the verdict was announced, Reporter Bulloch, 49, who had contended that vengeful racketeers and politicians had tried to frame him, quietly moved from the defendant's bench to the press table, calmly picked up his pencil and paper, and started covering the rest of the case against 17 other...
