...There's a six-disc CD set Lenny Bruce: Let the Buyer Beware (Shout! Factory, 2005), edited by Hal Willner and Marvin Worth, that wraps all the familiar bits and much previously unheard material in a handsome 80-page book. It's a must for any advanced Bruceophile. And two years ago, Comedy Central chose the 100 all-time greatest stand-up comedians.

Throughout the year, each chorus conducts its own concert series under the masterful baton of Director of Choral Activities and Senior Lecturer on Music Jameson Marvin. The Holden Choirs, named after the chapel in which they often rehearse, perform a wide variety of pieces written from the 15th to the 21st century, but rarely take the stage in such numbers. The merger of three 60-person choruses will fill Sanders’ stage with nearly 200 vocalists...
