...linksmen had to swallow a disappointing third place finish as a team behind Princeton and Yale. Harvard came into the clubhouse after first round action trailing the Elis by a mere stroke and two strokes ahead of the Tigers. Fighting mounting gusts over the 6,317 yard layout in East Providence, the linksters' scores spiraled in the afternoon, as they finished with an aggregate score of 620, nine strokes back of Princeton...
...outside the forest. Britten composed it in 1960. From the beginning of the overture to Puck's last speech the opera combines different musical modes to represent the different levels and intensities of action. The most striking distinctions are between the music moving the spirits and that moving the mere mortals. All different kinds of musical textures and harmonies distinguish the two groups.

As it turned out, these episodes proved to be mere diversions compared with a fundamental new strategy that was taking shape unnoticed. That strategy is the ongoing legal offensive-part of a spirit that is now called by its backers the Indian Renaissance...
...aggressive, the rhetoric insistent (and the syntax a bit shaky). "We believe that the conditions of our time force us to recognize the distance between what we say liberal arts can do and what it is now doing," declares the Manifesto of Liberal Arts College Presidents. Colleges have merely educated students to be consumers of the status quo, not innovators, the manifesto charges, while college presidents have become "mere managers, not educators." Furthermore, it asks, do students who come to college "without the skills to read, to think critically and to express themselves leave our institutions with these skills...
