Once Heineman has formally absorbed Essex Wire, he intends to run it and its acquisitions the way he runs Velsicol-not very tightly. "They don't know anything about the chemical business," says Velsicol President Norman E. Hathaway, 47. "And we don't know anything about the railroad business." Reinforced by the C. & N.W.'s prestige and borrowing power, Hathaway is largely left to manage the chemical operation in his own fashion...
...released two years later to work as a scout for the Australians against the Vichy French in Syria. During a fire fight, a bullet drove his binoculars into the left side of his face, destroying an eye, which he has kept covered ever since with a Hathaway-style black patch. Despite his wound, Dayan was eventually back in action, leading the Haganah commandos in 1948. Soon after, he took command of the Jerusalem front in Israel's first war with the Arabs. In 1953, he was made Chief of Staff, and he taught the Israeli army his uncompromising philosophy...
...predictions Hathaway's Fidelio should have been a failure. That it was certainly not. Using the Bach Society Orchestra as a base, he managed to assemble many of the best instrumentalists at Harvard; for his chorus he drew heavily from the Glee Club and the Radcliffe Choral Society. It is a tribute to his musicians' intelligence and ability to sightread, and to his own assiduity and seriousness as a conductor, that they got through the music as well as they...
...Hathaway's soloists were a mixed bag. Tenor James Olesen executed his brief role passionately and with excellent German enunciation.

Freshman phenomenon David Ripley acquitted the part of Don Fernando valiantly but seemed to be worrying too much about getting all the notes to do anything with them. Gregory Sandow as Rocco was well, embarrassing. Sandow is one of those rare examples of a ham with stage fright. His singing is at once precious and stiff. His main problem is that...
...illustrious member of the audience said, Hathaway's Fidelio "had its moments" especially in the long second act finale. On the whole, however, the forces assembled at Sanders had to cope with so much music of such weight and difficulty that they had little chance to do anything with their parts but get through them. Much of the performance was simply dutiful and at times even boring. Beethoven's exquisite score certainly deserves more than that--that is, more than even the best undergraduate musicians are capable of giving it under the circumstances of extracurricular music at Harvard...
