Thus, when Pusey came to Harvard in 1953, Harvard owned a large tract of vacant land right on the University's back doorstep, in the middle of a sedate residential neighborhood deemed to be among the finest in Cambridge. Even then, such land was hard to find, and the University began thinking about what to do with the parcel...
...pregnant and energizing compositional discipline in the hands of a master such as Schoenberg, Berg, or Stravinsky. Mrs. Vosgerchian played the piece idiomatically, sensitive to the tonal resource of each note, the logical impetus of every rhythm, the grace of Stravinsky's complete conception.

On the other hand, he badgers and belittles lawyers for the eight men who are charged with conspiracy to foment a riot at last year's Democratic Convention in Chicago...
