Harvard drill master David Pinto '82 last week also declined comment on his band's show, except to say "our shows have been decent this year--it'll probably be very funny." He added that the group will perform "all the usual football stuff" (like "Harvardiana," "Veritas."

...traveling Harvard man, wandering by a little apartment on Berlin's Thierschastrasse during the early 1930s might have heard a tune to warm his heart. Inside, in the apartment of Adolf Hitler, Ernst Hanfstaengl would sit at the piano and hammer out the melody of "Harvardiana." But the passer-by might wonder at the lyrics; To honor der Fuehrer, Hanfy had changed the words a bit.
