...regular program concluded with a gorgeous performance of Schumann's Op. 39 Liederkreis, a cycle from 1840, the legendary "year of song." Working with texts by the poet and novelist Joseph Eichendorff, Schumann dashed off these twelve songs in a few weeks in May--have you finished your term papers? The duo's singing and playing shared a similar exuberance. Upshaw's fierce glares and terror-filled voice in "Waldgespruch" (Wood Dialogue) were playfully evocative of the Schubert Erlkoening, while Goode evoked the Liszt "Wild Jagd" transcendental etude when a line of Eichendorff's mentioned "ein lustiges Jagd," a merry...
Mike McHale. Mike is co-owner of Tommy's House of Pizza, and is easily recognized with his freshly-shaven head and wire rimmed glasses. Although raised in New York, he speaks with an ever-so-slight twinge of metro Beantown. He knows his regular customers by name, and inquires of their lives.

Caring about the needs of consumers is a novel though in both Harvard Square and Harvard University alike, and Mike Mchale is an asset...

Blair is the first Prime Minister to be a regular Sunday churchgoer since the beginning of the century. What is perhaps more immediately important is that he considers his religious and his political values to be identical, believing that Christian convictions translate directly into politics. One of his chief aims will be to do all in his power to rebuild the family...
...Friday, Cincinnati on Tuesday and Phoenix the next Saturday. He has breezily chatted up hosts on morning talk shows, shared his thoughts on evening-newsmagazine shows and kept studio audiences captivated for 90 minutes at a stretch discussing nothing more dramatic than antioxidants, ginseng and the value of regular exercise. Weil's crinkly smile, easy manner and Father Christmas beard certainly help. But what really sells Andrew Weil is the good-health message he comes bearing; and what's most remarkable about that message is just how unremarkable...
