...swearing-in of new leadership and debate over development plans in the nearby Silver Maple Forest brought both celebration and contention to last night’s Cambridge City Council meeting. Following the resignation of Vice Mayor Brian P. Murphy ’86-’87 last month, Larry Ward was chosen to fill the vacancy on the council. Councillor Sam Seidel was elected by unanimous vote of the Council—though one councillor was not in attendance—to take over as Vice-Mayor at last night’s meeting. Both were then given...
...Stansell's roundhouse provided the coup de grace in the three men's action-packed new memoir of their capture, survival and deliverance.

...instrumentation—the glistening layers of beautiful acoustic guitar and the panflute—are unamplified, giving the song a very mellow and organic feel. M. Ward’s reverb-drenched vocals, unfortunately, feel as alien as bulldozers in an Oregon forest. M. Ward has a fine voice for folk music; why he feels the need to envelope it in reverb all of the time is a mystery. But “Hold Time” generally prevails in incorporating its distinct sonic elements to serve the holistic direction of its songs. What results is a unique, creative...
