...impressive. The Cantabrigian String Quartet, composed of Harvard students Akiko Tarumoto '98, Rebecca Baumann '98, Philip Kim '98, and Ellis Verosub '98, gave a clear, intelligent rendition of Harbison's quartet. In the Chorale Cantata, which concluded the evening, soprano Awet Andemicael '96 displayed her usual lovely tone and crisp diction.

One, however, stood out for the succinctness with which it cut to the heart of the matter. It came from Oklahoma Republican Senator James Inhofe, who is known for making crisp and at times incendiary remarks (he once denounced the Environmental Protection Agency as a "gestapo bureaucracy").
