...broad range of the group's repertoire is one of its most pleasant features. In the Collegium's first overseas tour last summer that took them to England, France, Belgium, and the Netherlands, newspaper reviews heralded the "young Americans" as a "vitally alive" and "smooth" chorus that, "gave new depth to a medieval choral art which in many ways is already dying." The reviews of their performance of contemporary American music (which they sang in Europe to honor the Bicentennial) were equally complimentary. Friday night the group, accompanied by a small orchestra, will plow through non-secular choral masterpieces...
...that is not going to excite a lot of opposition." During his term as Governor, Carter became aware of Watson's talents. The young man clearly had a special way with people.

But to recapture the White House, the Republicans will have to solve several problems. First, they must smooth over divisions between conservative true believers and the moderate wing.

Even when a grimy, overalled Keith Davis breaks out into a powerful "I'm Gonna Tell God All My Troubles," the show's smooth cosmopolitanism implicitly undercuts his simple spiritual...
...this sense of mutated organic form, emphasized by Calder's reluctance to smooth away the traces of making the sculpture (bolts always show, surfaces are always hand-painted rather than sprayed), that gives such life to his stabiles-Calderese for static sculptures. They are by turns as graceful as plants, as energetic in profile as a jumping tarpon: Calder's sense of edge is unfailing. Partly because they are assembled from sheet steel and do not dislodge great lumps of space, they also have a light, affable air to them. The larger, recent mobiles are rather less exhilarating...
