...enormous, full sound. Although you can never cover oboes up entirely. I used to think of them as being the delicate members of the wind section. I had no idea that Sanders could ring from the sound of a single oboist. His tone was pleasant, and his technique nearly flawless. I wasn't bowled over, but his phrasing and musicianship were equally good. [I was surprised that he hadn't memorized his part.] Music of this period is very transparent. For this reason the orchestra's slightly ragged playing was noticeable, and it was just enough out of tune with...

...effortless, flawless soprano swooped and soared above Strauss's heavy, quirky orchestration even when she was writhing on the floor to entice the lecherous Herod. Her phrasing was impeccable, her tone as silver-pure as a Nordic winterscape. Even John the Baptist would have lost his head...

...perfectly you did it! What better mockery than to have Faye Levine, one of your own, run for Class Marshal with your flawless argument, "She gets a degree from Harvard University."

While she was obviously ineligible and probably did not want...

I've attended Loeb main stage performances regularly for the last two years now, and I find the successes of each performance becoming predictable. Hamlin has relied, as most directors have, on the experienced skill of the same star-studded cast. Last night, the cast acted with the same excellence they've always shown, and I wondered if the use of stars wasn't becoming a riskless formula which Hamlin didn't dare violate...

...City-born, Yale-educated ('33) Gadsden was a vice president of Sharp & Dohme when it merged with Merck in 1953. As Merck's executive vice president since 1955, with a salary of $124,600 a year, the soft-spoken Gadsden has impressed colleagues with a talent for flawless recall. An administrative catalyst, he likes to have men around him who disagree with one another. Although he gets "many excellent ideas" from "casual chats" with employees on his worldwide visits to Merck plants, Gadsden likes to see things in writing. Says he: "People who can't put ideas...
