Harvard's team has been following a feast-or-famine pattern for most of the year. In a three-game winning streak the Crimson exploded for 35 runs and collected 46 hits, then was shut out by Army, 1 to 0. The team's most reliable hitter has been first baseman Joe O'Donnell; his average in the EIBL...
...humor (though with much wit), not a thriller (though it might have ben a smashing thriller), not a psychology, lacking in characterization. But finally, An American Dream has immense proportions--almost, one might say, mythic proportions--and the relentless pace of carnivore running hunted through a modern jungle to feast and keep from being feasted upon, to smell, to taste, to explode at last, to be killed and take, hopefully, a few of the enemy with...

ROUSSEL: THE SPIDER'S FEAST (Angel). For this ballet pantomime, inspired by the observations of French Entomologist Jean Henri Fabre, Roussel's impressionistic music transports the ants and the beetles into an enchanted cobwebbed garden. Andre Cluytens and the Paris Conservatory Orchestra touch other milestones of the composer's career by playing his later ballet music, Bacchus et Ariane, and the Sinfonietta for Strings, a miniature symphony in his mature classical style...
