Like a sudden swarm of 200-year locusts, commemorative kitsch is appearing everywhere: plates, mugs and glasses decaled with an eagle or the likeness of George Washington or John Adams or the flag or Archibald Willard's familiar Revolutionary fife-and-drum trio.* Businessmen are offering patriotic yo-yos, ties, music boxes, telephones, costumes, clocks, T shirts and egg timers. Even foreigners are getting in on the act. Many inexpensive Bicentennial items-though the ads, of course, never say so-are made in Taiwan or Japan. British Airways advertises: "You gave us the business 200 years ago, America. Here...
...Young's birdroom and at times advisers have been known to dip deep down in the request form, matching two people who have made obscure references to Sherlock Holmes. But the dean's office is the first to admit that the process isn't perfect. And if you feel yo've been the victim of a bum trade, don't hesitate to get back into the draft pool and find another, more compatible roommate...
...real Opry has moved out of town to a Disney-like complex on the freeway. It was inaugurated, you may recall, by President Nixon a few years back. If memory serves, this was the event at which the Trick failed to negotiate properly a yo-yo he had been given by the citizenry.

Wodehouse--but the score should more than make up for it, with such all-American numbers as "Clap Yo' Hands," "Someone To Watch Over Me," "Maybe," and "Do, Do, Do." It was a smash hit in 1926. The Loeb's version is directed by Loeb's Wunderkind Josh Rubins '70, author of the well-received musical Suffragette! At the Loeb tonight through Saturday and July...
WHAT HAPPENS when three of the best musicians at Harvard give a joint performance? They might engage in a battle of the gods, each trying to outdo the others. Or they might do what Lynn Chang. Yo Yo Ma and Richard Kogan did last Saturday night during their performance of Beethoven's Concerto for Violin. Cello, and Piano. The "Triple Concerto" rarely appears on concert programs because of the difficulty of finding three virtuoso musicians willing to share the spotlight. But none of the three Harvard undergrads playing with the Bach Society tried to upstage the others. Instead they played...
