...music selection managed to be tasteful, despite the focus on now cliche classical favorites. After all, when a piece is more recognized by the name of the movie it was featured in--the theme from 2001: A Space Odyssey or Strauss' Also Sprach Zarathustra?--the professional group has a hard time making an overplayed theme unique. However, when Joseph Lin '00 appeared on stage, violin in hand, the concert began to offer the special excitement that comes with a live performance.

The Great Depression ground on. Abroad, the international order began to disintegrate. America split bitterly over what, if anything, to do about it. All of this set the stage for F.D.R. to transcend...
