While R.W. was saying that, Chester Hickle was saying to no one in particular that one man out in the county "is a genius whittler. He whittled a wagon and a team of horses. He whittled a fiddler.

...LAST TERM at Harvard, when Sabath is not on stage in Fiddler, or T.F.ing a course in information theory, he sings bass with the five-year-old Din and Tonics, one of two all-male a capella groups on campus. The Dins perform about 60 concerts a year and have traveled to Bermuda three times.
