If it were not for the superlative skill and dogged determination of Conductor Colin Davis it might not have happened at all. For over a century, the French publishing house of Choudens owned the score but refused to release it. At one point, English Musicologists Cecil Gray and W.J. Turner even tried to hire the Parisian underworld to burglarize Choudens. The attempt failed. Fortunately, the Bibliotheque Nationale owned Berlioz's manuscripts. British Musicologist Hugh MacDonald began the immense job of deciphering them...

...Dino are high-school dropouts who long ago learned to hustle in the streets of Washington, D.C. Two years ago, they were snorting or shooting heroin, snatching purses and breaking into parked cars. They gave up drugs and street crime when they discovered the New Thing, founded by Colin ("Topper") Carew, 27, a former Boston gang leader who will soon earn a bachelor's degree from Yale.
