...delegates pay for their own travel and room expenses. They come to Boston every year for the HMUN, armed with Roberts' Rules, the latest jokes in international relations, and inexhaustible quantities of alcohol and marijuana. A bellboy stops me in the lobby and smiles -- "they must have ten pushers working overtime," he says. The delegate from Guyana sends a glass of Kool-Aid to the chairman of the Disarmament Committee. Love notes, disguised as cogent policy discussions among delegations and neighboring nations, roam through the committee...
Power's comments are cut short. Martha Finnemore '81, corporate member of the IRC, has grabbed the microphone away from the Law of the Sea to read the statement on the 1 a.m. curfew.

However, the conductor is meant to notice and correct such imperfections of balance and ensemble; thus, with him the responsibility must rest. It is extremely unfortunate that potentially first-rate performances of the Ravel and Beethoven works were spoiled by Lurye's carelessness regarding fundamentals. The persistent inattention to these elementary problems placed a severe strain on the patience of the listener and nullified a number of outstanding individual performances...
