...extremely disappointing to read that Radcliffe membership in Harvard organizations had been rejected by the Student Council on such seemingly minor, or at best, ill-defined grounds. Needless to say, the present policy on membership discriminates against Radcliffe students who want to be an active part of Harvard activities, let alone those girls who would like to join activities where girls have previously not been allowed...
Gross began with the C-minor Phantasie of Mozart. It was played with care and restraint, except perhaps in the pedalling, which seemed excessive. The piano, poor in tone and tune, may have been the cause of occasional blurs, especially in the lower register. Certain of Mozart's dynamic indications were given too extreme an interpretation. Una corda should probably be more sparingly used in Mozart, and Beethoven. Here again, some inadequacy in the piano itself may have been responsible...
Chopin's B-minor Scherzo was impetuous enough, but somehow a little unyielding. Three Brahms pieces concluded the program: Opus 11 No. 1, and Opus No.119 No.3 and No. 4.

In talks with Nasser and Foreign Minister Mahmoud Fawzi, Hare did manage to get them to make some minor improvements in their original version, e.g., by adding a provision that arbitration-tribunal decisions "shall be made by a majority," meaning that the Egyptian member will have no veto. But on the other three points Nasser refused...
Through all this move the grisly minor characters of Faulkner's theater. The druggist is running a dirty-picture seance. Bad niggers chase good niggers with carving knives, fall together into the same ditch and talk philosophy. Four grotesque little Indians (the offspring of a stray Snopes and an Apache woman) turn up out of nowhere, settle down in a cave and very nearly burn alive a citizen who tries to civilize them...
