...male, white European ethnocentrism that it now purveys as "liberal" education. Harvard does not recognize or even understand the meaning and validity of Women's Studies.Afro-American Studies.

Dexter's record with modern opera is extraordinary--his Dialogues of the Carmelites and Billy Budd exemplify how best to present modern operas with narrow appeal. But his productions of standards from the nineteenth century repertory, like his curious Rigoletto, have infuriated audiences. Levine's conducting has gained undeserved acclaim in the press. It's forceful, direct, and intractably unsubtle; Levine takes scores and homogenizes them. Furthermore, at a callow 35 he is attempting to conduct everything in the repertory from Mozart to Berg and Weill...
