...infield is well established, though only showing polish around second base. George Harrington at second and Levon Kasarjian at short clicked against M.I.T. with two double plays. Harrington, at second, has fielded well and has a strong arm, but lacks power. At short, Kasarjian, acting-captain in the first game, fields well but rarely gets long hits. Kasarjian last year led the Newton High team and his fielding won him a place on the all-scholastic team...
...choreographer Adele Hugo, who has again made the complex chorus patterns seem unrestricted by the small stage. This year the Winthrop Society has made a bigger production of their annual event, especially noticable in the lighting shifts used, generally successfully, for added dramatic effect. But the increased over-all polish makes any rough spots, although not serious, all the more obvious.

Wiped out with Bela Run, he added, were a hundred other Hungarian Communists and "the entire Polish Communist leadership" numbering several hundred men. According to approving George Lukacs: "The Russians are now going to rehabilitate their victims in enormous numbers, dead or alive . . . Every single case must be reviewed," a job likely to take "quite some time because their number is staggering...
