...movies (Fantastic Voyage) and TV (Combat!) were more hummable than dramatic. It was just the opposite for the theme that Alexander Courage wrote for the original Star Trek series, or the jaunty whistling jingle that Earle Hagen composed for The Andy Griffith Show. (In a more serious, romantic vein, Hagen wrote Harlem Nocturne.) Both music men were...
...throw more such concerts, not fewer. The CEB should host more bands every year, including alternative acts like Girl Talk, which appeal to substantial and enthusiastic minority of the Harvard student body.

The slowest, most downbeat song on the record, it depicts the character looking for guidance from a mirror on the wall—except this mirror is fractured. rather than reassurance, J. Smith finds “a hundred shattered eyes in the looking glass / Staring back...
