...offender--the band. Not only does the band offer shows that the alumni don't understand; those well-endowed alumni that do get the jokes are usually offended and respond with nasty letters. To top it all off, band alumni get into the Stadium free!!! Get that Bass Drum's seat...
...horror, Ginastera outclasses anyone now writing for the operatic stage. Beatrix Cenci can best be described as Renaissance Gothic. Based partly on history, partly on the Shelley tragedy, it tells how a young Roman noblewoman (Soprano Arlene Saunders) is seduced by her choleric, morally corrupt father.

His grandfather became a Smith, Silverheels noted, when Indian officials advised members of the family to change their names "so that they wouldn...
CHESAPEAKE BAY is considered unique among the world's estuaries for its size (20,000 sq. mi.), complexity and productivity. Best known for its oysters, it also teems with crabs and striped bass. It is a major wintering-over place for migratory fowl and shore birds; enormous flocks of ducks, geese and whistling swans home on its waters each year. For all its natural beauty, however, the Chesapeake is also threatened by man. Wastes poured into the upper reaches of the Susquehanna have begun to pollute the river. Continuing discharges into the river will flow into the bay, disrupting...
