...crowd of anxious modern citizens was alike in amazement; not a one was prepared for the emotional intensity delivered soon thereafter. Goofiness we might have expected from the bespectacled Aaron Perrino, the three-person band's guitarist/lead singer/Max Headroom lookalike. And we might have anticipated a too-jaded-to-smile brand of contemporary bass-playing from bassist Jim Gilbert...
Jennifer Little '99 and Ezra Keshet '99 are perfectly cast as Cunegonde and Candide, lovers who travel the world searching for each other. Keshet, with his naive expressions and constant smile is exactly the kind of optimist Candide should be--a character who believes that all is for the best in the best of all possible worlds (Voltaire is parodying a certain strain of Leibniz).

"He showed up at a recruiting session and at the office," Fitzsimmons says. "During the interview, he literally stopped the interviewer and made him listen to a tape of his music," he adds. He played the cello...
...interview into a therapy session. An interviewer would ask me about my extracurriculars, we would get to talking about competitiveness at Harvard, and I would finally add, "Yeah, a lot of people here seem to do things because they feel it's expected of them." "Hmm," my interviewer would smile, "I hear it gets particularly bad around this time of the year." Sooner or later, my interviewers got a whiff of my real interests, the way police dogs sniff out two kilos of hash in a carry...
