...comeback was both massive and sudden, and it came as quite a surprise that the H.R.O. was able to perform as well as it did. A program consisting of Berlioz's Overture to "Benvenuto Cellini," Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 1, Ravel's "Le Tombeau de Couperin," and Stravinsky's Symphony in Three Movements contains an ample selection of hexes for orchestral musicians. The Berlioz was a failure, but this shaggy, distorted reading can be set aside (though not excused).

...concert Saturday at 8:30 p.m., Levin and violinist Mary Harbison will perform the double concerto, and clarinetist Sherman Friedland will take part in the quintet. The program will include other works by Mozart as well...
...potential way of compensating for the priestly shortage is by the ordination of both married and single men to a permanent order of deacons, a proposal adopted by the Second Vatican Council.

Last week in Cologne, the first five candidates for this office were ordained; 110 more are in training in Germany alone...

He doesn't even have a heart of gold; Gary Cooper would never have left a wounded pal to bleed his life away in a wagon outside while he loaded up on rotgut...
...thus ask the Faculty Ad Hoc Committee to stop trying to perform a mediating function they cannot carry out. Instead, we think they should constitute themselves as the political body that in fact they are--and take a political position in favor of our six demands, including amnesty. The Faculty Ad Hoc Committee has recognized, as we have recognized, the fruitlessness of negotiations under the present circumstances. They independently broke off negotiations with us after last night's session. Professor Westin, chairman of the Ad Hoc Committee, told us that the committee would now attempt to put forth an independent...
