...oldest ship in the U.S. Navy is not the destroyer tender Dixie, a mere 40 years old [Oct. 15]. The U.S.S. Constitution, permanently docked here in Boston, is 182 years old and still a commissioned ship. Old Ironsides is to this day staffed and maintained by the Navy...
...puzzled Trilling, because she sensed something special in the first Radcliffe men. They seemed a sensitive group; men who preferred milk and cookies to the happy hour scene. They respected Radcliffe brains but "were by and large men who felt inadequate with competition, who felt women would be more tender...
...composer-historian offers an unexampled picture of some 55 years of Soviet musical life. His tender and witty evocation of his teacher Alexander Glazunov constitutes one of the most affecting portraits of a composer in the literature of music.

They hug each other a lot, hold each other's arms, "are supportive," as the psychologists say; they form pieta-like tableaux of familial affection. There's little wrong with that, and it might make a valid production of Lear someday, but all the actors--not just the nuclear family--would have to work towards realizing it, and the director would have...
