...Frederick, Linnet Houle was hindered by a rather unfortunate voice. The same difficulty hampered Richard Hamlen, Jr. (the pirate king) although not so much. Hamlen cut a fine figure of a pirate, but octaves cannot be pasted to a voice as easily as the moustache was stuck on his upper lip. Nancy Adam was a passable ward, but Anna Jeffrey was somewhat jittery...
...Peers Necessary? Amid the pomp and panoply of Queen Elizabeth's coronation, the heir to the newly created (1945) Altrincham barony openly questioned the usefulness of an upper house filled with legislators "not necessarily fitted to serve in Parliament." Soon afterward, demanding the admission of women to the clergy, he turned his barbs against England's men of the cloth, declaring that "it can no longer be presumed that a parson will even be respected as a man, let alone revered as a priest." More recently, Altrincham's ire was directed against Tory Anthony Eden...

...what, in outline, they had to say. Such a course would not only deepen students' understanding of the text, but would enable them to choose with some degree of understanding which authors they wished to study most intensely. Perhaps a course of this nature could be given as an upper-level social sciences course, open to freshmen considering concentration in classics. As evidenced by the success of similar courses at Yale and Princeton, the course would probably have a wide general appeal...
