...while, anyway. Disc Three marks the end of the '60s hits, and while its often skirts the edges of silliness, it's surprising how consistently listenable it is, especially "Porpoise Song," the failed single from "Head," and Nesmith's contributions. It also features a live cut, "Circle Sky," which lays to rest any doubts about their viability in concert. Nesmith's nasal vocals nothwithstanding, his efforts are about the only redeeming feature of the final disc, a somewhat grimmer prospect that includes late-'60s meanderings, some truly naff Davy Jones treacle, and more of Mickey Dolenz' inane flights of fancy...
Gregory A. Dorsainville '02, the station's general manager, is heading up one of WHRB's latest projects to encourage more Harvard students to listen. The station is producing a compilation compact disc of Harvard music--the greatest hits of the Harvard-Radcliffe Orchestra, the Mozart Society Orchestra, a handful of Harvard a cappella groups and the Kuumba singers--that Dorsainville hopes to send to incoming students the summer before their first year at Harvard...
...Opera is still racing against its U.S. competitors to offer features like encryption that are crucial to Web users but can hog disc-drive space. The company's latest innovation allows the Opera browser to function like rival Microsoft's ubiquitous?PowerPoint software to make presentations on the Web.

Andrea Bocelli, a true crossover artist, releases a pop album for every classical disc he issues. The blind Italian's pop recording debut Romanza sold more than 3 million copies in the U.S. His recent disc of Verdi arias sold 75,000 during Christmas week alone. Yet it is difficult to shake the suspicion that his blindness has, in marketing terms, contributed to his success. Universal predictably...
...hype here: there are nearly 11 hours of buried treasures, most of them from the first half century of movies, all rescued and restored by nonprofit institutions. Among the finds in this handsome four-disc set are footage of Orson Welles' 1936 "Voodoo" Macbeth and Marian Anderson's 1939 concert at the Lincoln Memorial; a 1901 trick film transferred from paper prints; a 1905 ride on a New York City subway; such avant-garde classics as The Fall of the House of Usher (1928) and Joseph Cornell's Rose Hobart (1936), a work with such power to shock that Salvador...
