...giving much needed mid-competition rests for the starters. Berg uses the reserves he has. The big reason for the 59 to 32 lop-sided defeat that the Yearlings handed Nichols Junior College was that Berg boarded reserves during a low scoring first half to spring a fresh and superior quintet on the groggy Nichols five in the last two quarters...
...similar cast lied presented for the first time in America at Tanglewood last summer. Like several other Mozart operas, notably "Cosi Fan Tutte," "Idomeneo" is a diamond lying neglected amidst the track of the nineteenth century. The orchestral passages are exceptional even for Mozart, and the choral writing is superior to that in his more famous operas.

Other solid achievements: the first two volumes of Samuel Eliot Morison's massive History of United States Naval Operations...
...Divine Office and Mass, one hour to meals, four hours to study and private prayers, usually five hours to manual labor. Except when sick, Trappists* eat no meat, fish, eggs; unless they are giving necessary directions for labor, monks without special assignment may not speak, except to their superior...
