Barbirolli's conducting was an experience in sheer physical grace. The emotive power of his body seemed at times to be equal to the emotive power of the music he conducted, as every muscle of his body, and every inch of himself to the very tips of his hair, seemed to involve itself in the music.

The Southern Alameda Spanish Speaking Organization filed suit, contending that the referendum deprived those who would live in the project of their rights under the 14th Amendment's equal-protection clause. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals found no constitutional violation, but said that city officials may have a duty to meet the needs of low-income families.
