Title: Talk–"Wagner's Beguiling Tristan und Isolde and Its Misunderstood Aspects"
Body: The Boston Wagner Society presents: Talk–"Wagner's Beguiling Tristan und Isolde and Its Misunderstood Aspects" Saturday, November 15, 2008, 1:30 pm Boston Public Library, Mezzanine Conference Room, Copley Square Free and open to all This lecture will address some of the seemingly strange or elusive aspects of Wagner’s Tristan und Isolde. For example, how could a modern audience be expected to take seriously a love generated by a magic potion? Wagner’s brilliant solution to this quandary is as dependent upon his music as it is on his verbal text. The drama is enigmatic for many opera lovers precisely because the verbal text alone frequently does not convey the entire meaning; instead, the meaning is often completed or even altered by the music. For more information, please call (617) 323-6088 or contact www.bostonwagnersociety.org or write an e-mail to info@bostonwagnersociety.org .

Title: Editorial: Increase Access to Latin Rather than Cutting AP Tests
Body: From http://www.edweek.org/ew/articles/2008/11/05/11pearcy.h28.html?tmp=200069290 Advanced Placement for Whom? By Lee T. Pearcy November 3, 2008 In April, the College Board decided to eliminate the Latin literature AP exam, along with exams in French literature, Italian, and advanced computer science. Trevor Packer, the College Board’s vice president in charge of the Advanced Placement program, told this publication in April that demographics, not budget, were behind the decision. The board has made a laudable effort recently to bring underrepresented groups, and especially African-American and Hispanic young people, into its Advanced Placement program. Only a very few of these students, Packer explained, take the four AP subjects that were eliminated. Not just low numbers alone, then, but the combination of low numbers and negligible minority participation guided the College Board’s decision. The solution is to attract African-American and Hispanic students not just to the Advanced Placement program, but also to subjects in which they historically have been underrepresented. Those subjects need Hispanic and African-American intelligence, energy, and diverse points of view as much as these students need French or Italian or Latin or computer science.
