...found that it was difficult to move Cye precisely using my laptop's mouse, and thus it was slow going trying to input a working route. Nonetheless, after about 20 minutes, a rudimentary thoroughfare--which I dubbed the Steinway--was laid out. The robot rolled out my door, hung a left and cruised down the hall about 50 ft. to Stein's office, where it made another left and entered. A few seconds later a short, high-pitched scream (not robotic) indicated that Cye had found its mark. Upon inspection, I saw Stein standing on his sofa. "I fear...
...sense of community within the residential house system was once a part of what made the "Harvard experience" so remarkable. In the past, there were well-established communities ready to welcome incoming sophomores--communities which often took advantage of each house's unique physical strengths. Musicians gravitated toward the Steinway pianos at Winthrop and Cabot, while athletes appreciated the close commute to practice from Kirkland.

In introducing the Thad Jones waltz "A Child Is Born," Batiste played into the guts of the opened grand piano and used the Steinway's vast sounding board as a natural amplifier, thus creating all sorts of lingering overtones. This experimental technique might have been expected more of the younger Byron than of Batiste, the elder statesman, but Batiste showed that he is more than a traditionalist throughout the concert...
