...highlight of the concert, and one of the highlights of the whole season, was luminous performance of excerpts from the Messiah. Russell Stanger, who continues to gain poise and authority on the podium, did a masterful job of keeping everyone in line. The orchestra, despite the absence of several of its best players, sounded much better than last time. Part of the success must go to concert-master Paul Revitt 1G, who worked hard and kept the whole violin section in line...
...highlight of the Institute was a public panel discussion entitled "Five Foreign Policies for the United States." Craig Wylie '30, secretary of the Massachusetts Branch of the U.W.F., urged the U.S. to abandon its "sound, intelligent, but uninspiring" foreign policy and work for the creation of a World Federal Government. John B. Rae, associate professor of History at M.I.T. and member of the Atlantic Union Committee, countered with a plan for a federation of the democracies...

Daniel Pinkham, Harvard's only representative in the group, is a very fine harpsichordist, but unfortunately he was drowned out by Bodky's overly percussive playing...
Where the film departs from the stage production is in the emphasis of the direction. Perhaps to make up for the confinement of the setting, Elia Kazan set his cameramen and actors to highlight every eccentricity in the cast. Brando responded to this kind of direction by developing an overgrowth of quirks, brilliantly freakish, that dominate every scene in which he enters. As he appears before fastidious Blanche for the first time, the camera-eye stares fascinated at a huge sweat-stain on his T-shirt, just above the area where he is scratching himself; for half a minute...
