...experience of a lifetime") made sickness and occasional discomfort seem unimportant. Again and again listeners were astonished that such expertly played music could come from a "provincial" U.S. city. At the Karachi concert, Pakistan President Iskander Mirza was so moved that he asked the orchestra to repeat the Pakistani national anthem. Said a State Department official: "They have done more to impress people with the U.S. than anything that has come out of the U.S. since...

Pakistan, Noon declared, was anxious to see a U.N.-organized plebiscite policed by U.N. troops, but India had repeatedly blocked plebiscite proposals "by insisting on some new condition or raising irrelevant issues."
