Most listeners are likely to agree with Alan H. Morriss, who commented that "A first glance at the score provokes the feeling that is is almost impossible to review it seriously." Passages like the sinister trombone blats at "Forgive us our trespasses," seem to encourage use of the Mass as a party record. But the piece has already been performed at a Providence cathedral, and there are rumor that it will be imported to Boston. One hopes that some time will elapse before the University Choir will be replaced at Memorial Church...
...hockey team showed the Brown squad Saturday night how to look alternately like a group of strangers playing together for the first time and a polished, precision unit. All in all, the Crimson didn't quite outshine the men from Providence as much as its 6-1 victory would seem to indicate...
...table conversation in the Northern U.S. this winter seems complete without talk of the new ski slope or the latest office victim of an ill-conceived jump turn.

There was a time...

What both Houses seem likely to settle for in the end is a bill in which the Administration will gain some minor points, give ground on others to proponents of more extensive subsidies. Already dead, apparently, is the President's idea of lifting all ceilings on FHA mortgage insurance, the backbone of the private-enterprise housing program. Instead, Congress is moving in the direction of handing out $5 billion of mortgage insuring authority for the rest of this fiscal year, $5 billion...
