...Sadly, the crowd's overt apathy extended unfairly to the opening band, Gorky's Zygotic Mynci. The band's Welsh nature and English pop sensibilities (crafted in the tradition of late-'60s Beatles or Beach Boys) were mostly lost on a polite but uninterested audience.

When Harvard's early acceptance letters arrive in mailboxes across the country this weekend, their contents will immediately provide students with independence, whether to come here or to wait and see what their...
