...near-capacity crowd poured into M.I.T.'s huge new Kresge Auditorium last night for an organ recital by E. Power Biggs. The three-manual Holtkamp organ has just recently been installed. It is designed along Classical rather than Romantic lines, with all the pipes unenclosed. The instrument speaks with great clarity, although some of the ranks of reed pipes are harsh and unevenly voiced. The Auditorium itself is truly an acoustical marvel...
Blasted Out. The chorused fanfare of a horn group (ranging from six to eleven members) is deafening, as the audience at Laarne discovered. The day's festivities began with a Hunter's Mass at the Laarne Chapel, at which pink-coated, blackbooted horn players substituted for the organ and choir at the service, and all but blasted the congregation from their seats.

Meanwhile, the brilliantly modeled eyes focus with disdain upon someone in the back row−whether a sinner or a sneezer. The portrait achieves a quality rare in most places and times, and almost unheard of in its own: immediacy...
