...smartest kid in his high school class, won a scholarship to B.U., and turned on to Marx, dope, and sex in his freshman, sophomore and junior years, in that order. In his senior year, he edited the B.U. News and transformed it into a real radical rag, printing the kind of stories LNS would later specialize in. His account of those years is refreshingly ironic- a welcome relief from those numerous tomes gravely relating the intricate workings of local politicos-but it unfortunately omits some events we would like to hear about.

...down the Hudson. Only the opening and closing numbers, Strike Up the Band and / Got Rhythm, have so far been orchestrated for a brassy pit band. The rest of the evening the dancers were accompanied by Pianist Gordon Boelzner, plunking away in imitation of Gershwin's strutting, rag-timey style. (In one number, Clap Yo' Hands, the dancers prance across the stage to the sound of Gershwin's own piano playing, recorded in 1926 and raspily reproduced on tape.)
