...ring with Bobo, he was just as brisk. For one round he danced and jabbed, held in the clinches and saved his strength. The old snap was back in his punches, though, and the perfect timing. Again and again, Sugar suckered his man into a lead and caught him with a wicked counterpunch. The question was: How long could Sugar stand the pace...
...difficult medium of two violins, two violas and two 'cellos has tempted few composers. Brahms adopted it twice and contributed the two finest examples of string sextet, of which the first in B-flat (1860) was performed last night. Brahms achieved a perfect balance between Romanticism and Classicism; the stuff of his music is Romantic, but its manipulation and design are Classical. This warm and glowing sextet is a veritable textbook of almost endless varieties of string texture. For example, the Andante often uses the violas and 'cellos as a dark quartet; the Scherzo utilizes the six instruments in three...
...agree, I think, that there is nothing sacred about the present size of the College and that there is no one perfect or right number for Harvard. There is, no doubt, an optimum size, within reasonably narrow limits, for any college, the size being the number of students which, given an institution's particular resources, circumstances and function, it can educate with maximum effectiveness.

Johnson has every expectation of returning...
...himself on the ringside barrier, perilously immobile, while the big bull from Mexico's famed San Mateo ranch charged three times. His gold-and-pink "suit of lights" flashing, Dominguin followed up with a series of classic passes in mid-ring and killed the bull with a single, perfect thrust, winning both ears and the tail. By the time the killer of more than 2,000 bulls had finished off his third that afternoon, Maracay aficionados were so elated that they paraded him through town on their shoulders. Dominguin's own candid opinion: "I believe I am much...
