...gifted singer to succeed the clown Will Kempe. The current Feste is Mark Lamos, who not only has a fine voice but also plucks his own theorbo in the charming songs composed by John Morris. Freedman has also given Feste four additional singers. In the setting of "O Mistress Mine," for instance, with its lovely upward leaps of sixths and sevenths, Lamos, sitting cross-legged on the kitchen table, starts by himself, is joined by two men and then two women, and the song is finally done as a canon.

...editorial entitled "Sun Day Sermon" (Crimson, May 1), Dr. David Jhirad, Acting Director of the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS), was misquoted as having said that solar energy could provide for the entire energy needs of the United States before the end of the century. The error was mine. In fact, on the basis of a comprehensive two-year study performed by Dr. Jhirad and his colleagues, Dr. Jhirad concludes that aggressive implementation of the solar option (encouraged by federal purchasing programs and tax incentives), combined with efficient fossil-fuel use, could result in solar energy providing one-quarter...
