...courage and enthusiasm. The performance at Tanglewood last Sunday, while demonstrating that courage and desire were not sufficient to overcome completely the problems of a student chorus working without enough rehearsal time, spoke almost as well for the musical ability of the group. Although depending upon the male voices too often, the chorus achieved good co-ordination with the soloists and the orchestra throughout most of the performance. It also had the strength to carry its harmonies against the powerful Boston Symphony...
...Male Wall. The only people paying attention to the bitter Chinese complaints were a group of Western newsmen. The sight of outsiders overhearing the family quarrel brought fiery Jeannette Vermeersch to her feet and, pointing an accusing finger, she cried to the Chinese delegates: "You are talking in front of the imperialist press-and yet you say that you are fighting imperialism!"

He grabs a handful of vegetation and throws it high in the air. He beats his massive chest with both hands, so loud that the drumming can be heard a mile away. While drumming, he kicks...
When a big male starts his ritual hooting, females withdraw to a safe distance; infants flee. Schaller is sure that the performance is mainly a way to relieve emotional tension. Humans, he reminds his readers, have similar rites. Females and infants usually know enough to take cover when an emotionally aroused male starts kicking the furniture, slamming doors or heaving the family crockery...
