...strikingly subtle. (A recording engineer once told him, "Oh, you're the guy who has no beginning to your notes.") Says Stoltzman: "I don't like how the clarinet sounds most of the time. In the official style, you don't have enough freedom to wander." His own clarinet, by turns, mimics the fluttery delicacy of a flute, the finespun song of a violin, a bassoon's dark, melancholy air. His playing refuses to sound well-schooled. Even Mozart runs take off so spontaneously that Stoltzman might almost be improvising-as he often does. He recently...
...hang out. Sandy has temporarily left her football-player date, who has all his brains in his biceps according to Travolta, to feed the juke box. Her real intent, of course, is to lure Danny, who is sitting with his slippery friends at another table. Anyway, Danny manages to wander over to the juke box not-so-very casually and stammer out some excuse for his bad behavior.

At a top restaurant in Venice or Rome, an a la carte meal for two will cost up to $50 without cocktails or wine. A room for two at a first-class hotel averages about $35 a night...
...proof of thermometer power, just wander down by the Charles River. Try February 3 first. It's a desolate, Siberian sight if ever there was one. But then, for purposes of comparison, take another walk on one of the few thong-sandal April afternoons. You will see literally dozens, perhaps even hundreds of students ardently trying to live up to the image the outsiders have stuck them with. They are there with stacks of books, pen and paper, lecture notes. Some even go so far as to come fully attired, as if to punish themselves for wandering from the hallowed...
