...partly electronic, partly live percussion. The visual design includes slides as well as light changes, and the dance is done by the whole company. Most important, a thematic element is introduced: Coleridge's "Kubla Khan" is the inspiration of the piece.

However, my judgment may be mistaken. If M.I.T. decides to give full weight to the opinions of individual Harvard members who sit on a Policy Board which it has established unilaterally, the results could be identical...
