...Department quit at just the wrong moment; since then horses have staged a surprising comeback, now total more than 7,000,000, of which 85% are saddle horses. Nor has the demand by any means peaked. Nearly every breed is still on the increase, from Tennessee Walking Horses (91,000) to Shetland ponies (119,000). Arabians - the currently chic horse in many places - stood at 16,015 in 1959; today there are 46,266 registered in the U.S. and Canada. The Appaloosa, the unusually spot ted horse that got much of its vogue from Walt Disney...
Although Buswell's usual obtrusive stage mannerisms were curiously more restrained than usual, he still indulged in a great deal of theatrical breathing and a series of almost grotesque attempts at beatific smiles at moments whose exquisiteness he seemed particularly desirous of pointing out to the audience. The trouble with these antics is threefold: they are aurally and visually distracting, especially in a room the size of the Kirkland JCR; they are didactic and insulting to an audience generally capable of appreciating Bach's subtleties on its own; and, most important, they are bound to distract a performing musician from...

If the School Committee selects one of them, the City Council will then have to appropriate about $200,000 to build the classrooms. In previous hearings, several city councillors have opposed the expenditure and supported the alternatives of having double sessions at another school--or bussing the children throughout the city--both of which are opposed by the Houghton parents...
...route to the CRIMSON from the Agassiz Theater opening of White Sale, Timothy Mayer's second original contribution to this year's Cambridge drama season, your recalcitrant reviewer paused a moment in Brattle Square. He has for some time been convinced that there is no shortest path between these two points, that Brattle Square, and perhaps most of the corner we occupy in south-west Cambridge, are located smack in the heart of what science-fiction writers used lovingly to term a "time warp." Four years of this town, of predictable variety and commonplace brilliance, can do that...
