...force of habit, Louis Krasner fiddled so hard he nearly dropped his bow. The bewildered audience couldn't tell whether all of Schönberg's "unplayable" notes were being played or not. When it was over, the orchestra looked embarrassed, the audience, impressed by an obvious feat of strength and skill, drowned out a few discreet hisses with well-bred applause...

The newest angle to be played up for a local consumption is the likening of Coach Frank Leahy of Boston College to the immortal Knute Rockne (Leahy's team accomplished the stupendous feat of beating Tulane, which has yet to win its first game this year). Dave Egan was only groping around in the dark last spring, letting loose an occasional blast at Harvard, but this fall he found the nice-sounding rallying point he was looking for. Extensive research convinced him that Harvard...
