...weeks ago, Jon Rubinstein was booking up the side of Mount Tamalpais in Northern California while I wheezed like a steam engine in his wake. This was irritating on two levels: 1) I do this hike all the time, and 2) he had already gone for a long run earlier...
...executive chairman of Palm Inc., Rubinstein, a wiry 52, is a marathoner. So I persevered.

He succeeded as well as he could. He was not as cosmopolitan as his great rival Arthur Rubinstein, nor would he ever fool anybody into thinking he was Artur Schnabel, the apostle of German-style ''depth.'' The Columbia disks, all solo, are rife with puckish renditions of Scarlatti sonatas and Schubert impromptus that sometimes verge on eccentricity, and of Beethoven sonatas and Schumann fantasies that often threaten to collapse...
