...stunning performance by the soon-to-be-definitive Yo-Yo Ma. I found myself engulfed by his confidence, capabilities and professionalism. His handling of Shostakovich's composition was stupendous, to say the least, and I left the concert feeling completely invigorated. For that, I shall ask you to extend to him my congratulations and thanks. It appeared at the time that Yo-Yo Ma's performance was doubly impressive, first for this excellent solo and, second, because of his abilities in rising above the handicap of Mr. Neal Stulberg's horrid performance as conductor...
...banks' loans to electric utilities, as a result of Federal Reserve Bank officials' pressure, jumped from $5.9 billion to $8.4 billion. The Fed will most certainly use similar backdoor techniques to ensure that New York's banks don't go under after default, but it could also extend these forms of economic assistance to give New York enough money to avoid default...

Both styles seek to extend the composers' expressive freedom, although this is more true of atonality than of serialism...

Students here, for reasons that extend far beyond voting restrictions, have never been a major force in this city's political process, except possibly through their disruption of that process during the heyday of radical activity...
...disinterest on the part of Cambridge-area students in the course of the city's politics can be traced to students' aloofness from the surrounding community. Particularly for Harvard students, Cambridge doesn't seem to extend beyond Harvard Square. The town-gown dichotomy creates little similarity of interest between students and the Cambridge populace. Most students live in Harvard-owned dorms and have no understanding of the rent control problem that affects 80 per cent of Cambridge residents. On the issues that do seem to affect students--like the Environmental Protection Agency's parking regulations--the students are opposed...
