...fine voice Friday night. Don't let anyone fool you-it isn't easy music. Have you ever heard a bad chorus sing Thompson? Each of the four parts lies exposed. If one voice sticks out, or one section wanders off pitch by that much, even the Great Tin Ear couldn't miss it. It was a joy to hear Thompson conducting his own music, for he does it well. The Glee Club an Choral Society are to be commended on their blend, tone, and expression, and on their endurance as well (they stood throughout the entire concert...
Although he holds an academic title (senior research associate at M.I.T.'s Center for International Studies), Isaacs is basically a reporter, with the good reporter's inquisitive ear, skeptical eye and impartial attitude toward the facts.

It is even illegal to stare suggestively at a pretty girl, though every self-respecting Italian male does it. On the other hand, there is one splendid defense: not intentionally getting caught in the act. A silent insult made behind a victim's back may be ruled unintentional, even if it is seen reflected in a mirror or a window...
