...former Assistant Secretary of Defense Paul Warnke, his rumpled seersucker jacket slung over his shoulder and his face flushed in the breezeless, 101° heat. He was followed by two former Deputy Defense Secretaries, Paul Nitze and Cyrus Vance, former Secretary of the Air Force Harold Brown, Washington Attorneys James Woolsey and Walter Slocombe, Brookings Institution Fellow Barry Blechman and Columbia University Political Scientist Lynn Davis...

And the bright E-major setting of "It was a lover and his lass," the loveliest song in all the plays (albeit extraneous here), is enchantingly and impeccably sung by two little boy-sopranos, Harold Safferstein and David Vogel.

Harold Shaw, the new man at Hurok Concerts, is regarded as a sound businessman. His abilities as a starmaker in the Hurok tradition are less well known. Despite the recent depletion of its talent roster, Hurok Concerts still handles a respectable array of artists, including Van Cliburn, Sviatoslav Richter, Henryk Szeryng, Nathan Milstein, Janet Baker, Nicolai Gedda and Artur Rubinstein.
