Bonder said that a group of students supporting the petition, written by Gerald M. Slutsky '72, then met with Wilcox and Glimp. "Glimp was noncommital and Wilcox said the idea was immprobable to impossible," Bonder said...
...MOST conservative piece of the evening was Leonard Lehrman's String Trio, written with frank lyricism, at times slightly oleoginous, culminating in a strong last page of almost botanical beauty.

...provides the advantage of lucidity, rapid harmonic and dynamic change, absolute audibility and visibility, manageable balance, tremendous possibilities for sheer sounds, and maximum polyphonic delineation. The Biss Quarter demonstrated both the advantages and potential tediousness of the mercurial technician.

His signal offense was The New Class, published in 1957, in which he characterized the Communist bureaucracy as every bit as oppressive, materialistic and hierarchical as capitalism. On his release in 1966, he was prohibited from engaging in "political activity"-a usefully flexible admonition not to stir up controversy. But once again Djilas has defied Tito, his old comrade-in-arms, and brought...
