However, the true stars of Candide were undoubtedly the orchestra members. From the opening notes to the final flourishes, the orchestra hardly faltered and did justice to Bernstein’s inspired score. The violinists, led by concertmaster Ian K. Goh ’06, were pure and lovely. Similarly, the woodwinds, brass, and keyboard were simply heavenly, and the percussion section was duly percussive.

That's true, at least, for Meridiani Planum, the plain near the Martian equator, where Opportunity set down. By pure good fortune, the rover landed inside a small crater gouged by an ancient meteorite. This natural excavation exposed ancient layers of crust laid down by a shallow lake that had periodically dried up and refilled.

In the two teams’ meeting in New Haven, Bulldogs forward Dominick Martin shot 5-for-8 from the floor and scored 10 crucial second-half points. Possibly the Ivy League’s best pure post scorer, the 6’10 Martin is second in the league with a .540 field goal percentage, and is coming off a 20-point performance on 10-of-12 shooting in Tuesday’s loss to Brown...
