...quality of Friday evening's Bach Society concert in Paine Hall ranged from bad to mediocre. Horn soloist Joel Kotin's silvery tone and sure techniqque almost raised Mozart's Fourth Horn Concerto in E-flat to the level of excellence. But vacillating accompaniment from the orchestra, conducted by Andrew Schenck, and an intrinsically ordinary concerto, prevented even Kotin's performance from saving the program...
...Mozart hardly dazzled, either. As a result of perfunctory tuning, Kotin played the whole first movement flat; by the end, he had risen well above the average pitch around which the strings were scattered. The third movement, Rondo: Allegro vivace, didn't really suggest vivace. Every time the orchestra ventured away from the security of the main theme, it slowed down a little bit more...
Nevertheless, Kotin did play with fine tone, and miraculously avoided the hornists' occupational hazard: blurping. Schenck subordinated the orchestra nicely when it accompanied, so that the out-of-tune strings were not too painful. He brought the concerto to an appropriately pompous close...
...Joel Kotin took the 50-yard breast-stroke in 31.9 seconds for Kirkland, with Tom Angell of Quincy second and team-mate Dick Carey third. Fred Casperson and Bill Stiles placed one-two in the 50-yard butterfly for Kirkland, as Jim Schroeder of Quincy placed third...
...smog a health menace? Says Los Angeles' Dr. Paul Kotin: "There is no question that it is not good for you." Kotin himself has produced cancers in rats and mice by painting their bodies with smog components. Natural exposure to smog has caused scarring in the lungs of laboratory animals, and inhalation of sulphur-dioxide fumes produces "airways resistance" (inhibited replenishment of the blood's oxygen supply) in both guinea pigs and humans. In London, where the word smog originated, chronic bronchitis-emphysema, an irreversible pulmonary disorder that can cause eventual heart failure, is now the third biggest...
