...imagine I could be the smallest player in history," Henry Sandow, a senior halfback on the Harvard football team, says. "For my size, I'm certainly the baddest...
...BACH SOCIETY had considerable difficulties with the first of the concerto grossi, which was hampered by dynamic monotony, struggling second violins, inaudible violas, and a methodical trio of soloists. All of these problems unhappily converged in the second and fifth movements. Miss Lisa Sandow, the first solo violin, and Miss Ruth Rubinow, the solo cello, rivalled each other for tonal monotony and absolute abandonment of nuance.

The second concerto, distinguished by a beautiful first movement, fared much better with Tison Street...

Freshman phenomenon David Ripley acquitted the part of Don Fernando valiantly but seemed to be worrying too much about getting all the notes to do anything with them. Gregory Sandow as Rocco was well, embarrassing. Sandow is one of those rare examples of a ham with stage fright. His singing is at once precious and stiff. His main problem is that he tries too hard, and his efforts to be expressive lead him to forcing and frequent lapses of taste...
