...exceptions received the weakest performances. Brahms' intensely sorrowful "Warum ist das Licht gegeben" sounded disjointed, with the seemingly endless phrases of the first section losing momentum every measure or two; only the final chorale generated a genuine mood. The men's performance of Schubert's "Gesang der Geister uber den Wassern" showed complete insensitivity to Goethe's colorful text...

"I am fed up with the bureaucrats at the borders," said Den Hollander. His original plan called for a single type of train that would link a united Europe-with a spur under the Channel to Britain.

"It's like being a den mother for 30,000 students," claims University of Michigan Regent Mrs. Gertrude Huebner, who delights in the varied advice she is asked to give. One mother wrote to ask whether her coed daughter should sing in a nightclub.
