Fortunately, Saturday night's concert started good and got better. The concert opened with the Sunday Jazz Band, who performed a sophisticated arrangement by longtime Harvard Jazz Band collaborator Jeff Friedman of the Thelonious Monk tune "Brilliant Corners." The Monday Band then took to the stage with a rousing performance of "Take The 'A' Train," replete with mean brass and take-no-prisoners attitude.

This medieval Xerox system was painfully low-tech: a monk would slowly copy from exemplar Latin Bibles as he and his brothers inked and gilded lavishly illustrated pages at the rate of roughly...

Sent as a boy of 12 to St. Mary's Abbey in Buckfast, German-born Brother Adam crossbred various bee stocks to produce the celebrated "Buckfast bee," a gentle, disease-resistant, prolific honey-producer. In 1991 the U.S. Department of Agriculture imported Buckfast queens to replace American bee populations killed by a viral epidemic...
