Schubert loomed large in last night's concert, on as well as off the program. Princeton began the evening with five of the composer's works for male chorus. As a convinced German Romantic, I can hardly object to this choice of music sui generis; but the texture of these pieces is so consistently homophonic, and the rhythmic pattern and figuration of accompaniment so adamantly constant that even I found the novelty wearing off after a while. What makes Schubert worth listening to are the exquisite tunes of harmony with which he glides so effortlessly from one surprising...
Peretz also said that he considers Harvard's relationship with the outside world to be the issue raised by the Dow demonstration. "What I object to is the wide-spread assumption that Harvard is non-political," Peretz said. "That's simply not true...
...From this point on, Metherell's technique closely parallels that of optical holography (TIME, March 18, 1966). The filmed pattern is illuminated from one side by light from a helium-neon laser device. The light is diffracted by the converted sound pattern into an image of the original object. Viewers standing on the opposite side of the film can then see a measurable, three-dimensional representation of the object that has been scanned. By reconstructing three such photographs taken with sounds of different frequencies, the scientists believe that they wil soon be able to make multicolored sound pictures...
...Object of Ridicule. Far from making Christianity more relevant, says Ramsey, such woolly-headed pronouncements make it at best an object of ridicule, at worst a menace to prudent political judgment. The impact of these declamations is also weakened by the fact that the activist theologians cannot possibly speak for all Christians, given the differences of political viewpoints within the church. Ramsey finds a certain irony in the fact that the secularist syndrome is prevalent among Protestants, who are now seeking "to assume decisions that belong in the realm of the state." Ramsey argues that "not even the 'magisterium...
Curious Twins. In her dealings with men, Otero lost her professional cool but twice. Once she sought out Eugene Sandow, "the Strongest Man in the World." But he rebuffed her advances, preferring the male company of his Danish pianist roommate instead. The other object of her attentions was one half of an act named the Marco Twins -James, 6 ft. 3 in. and Dietrich, 3 ft. 6 in. It was the lower half of the team that attracted her ("Frankly, I was curious"), and one night she succeeded in satisfying her inquisitiveness. But later she discovered that the twins were...
