Labelled the "musical highlight of Winterfest," Tuesday's Boston Symphony concert marked the first appearance of a Harvard undergraduate as soloist, pianist Eugene Indjic '69. His performance certainly justified the honor; an achievement even more impressive considering the piece, the hall, and the conductor. Indjic chose to play Brahm's Piano Concerto No. 2, one of the largest and most formidable of piano works. Aside from its extreme technical demands, the concerto presents a challenge of organization; most critically, of pacing and uniting the sprawling first movement, a problem of drama as well as form.

The Committee on General Education has both the flexibility and the philosophical rationale to take such courses--those featuring academic and practical analysis--under its newly strengthened wing.

A major project: establishing a primitive "grid" of interconnecting roads to offer alternative routes if the bombings resumed. Antlike swarms of work gangs took an average of only 48 hours to repair bombed roads, as little...
...Highlight of the week was a flight to Independence, Mo. Accompanied by his new lectern and a planeload of Harry Truman's old White House aides, Johnson went to pay tribute to the former President on the establishment of the Harry S. Truman Center for the Advancement of Peace at Hebrew University in Jerusalem. Leaning heavily on his cane and looking all of his 81 years, Truman, in a speech read for him, said of the years since he began to fight the cold war: "It all seems to have been in vain. Memories are short and appetites...
