...quartet as "a laboratory of advancing musical ideas." In this spirit of experimentation, Bartok tested different principles of tonality and deviated from a traditional harmonic structure. The Guarneri String Quartet gave an interpretation of Bartok's experimentation that seemed chaotic, disconcordant and--in Bartok's spirit--utterly exquisite. A stream of notes on high E rang with a sound that was reminiscent of fingernails against a blackboard with all of its pierce and none of its bite--creating a musical chill that began by leaping onto your arms, creeping up your neck and resounding with a shiver that carried...
Just ask investment banker Mark Ragsdale and his wife Leslie, a lawyer, who last October bought a beautiful two-story house north of San Francisco in Mill Valley, up a road that wound through 100-ft. redwoods and past a splashing stream. Then the winter rains started. Toward the end of January, the couple's driveway had started to heave. A week later, the house began to torque and twist so that windows cracked and doors hung askew.

Clearly, investors seeking to preserve capital and earn a fixed-income stream for a set period of time have no business flirting with such a beast. They should go for individual bonds. Yet bond funds are routinely marketed and accepted as apt substitutes...
What is less encouraging is the motivation of those that function as the intermediates between Harvard and its stream of tourists. Why would one want to be a member of the Crimson Key? Livelli answers, "A good reason would be to demonstrate your love to the university and develop your sense of history, etc. A real reason would be because there tends to be a good number of good-looking girls in the Key compared; oh no, I can't say that. I am going to make a lot of enemies with this interview...
