Behind this corporate maneuver lay a story somewhat deeper and, to veteran Trib staffers, more meaningful than a routine change at the top. More than any other man at the Trib, unobtrusive, unassuming and adaptable George Cornish represented the paper's last important link with its past. Cornish's tenure spans four Tribune administrations, from the late Ogden M. Reid, who inherited the paper from his father in 1912 and ran it until his death in 1947, to John Hay Whitney, U.S. Ambassador to the Court of St. James's, who has been owner since...

Under the 52-year-old Ivanov and 45-year-old Kiril Kondrashin. one of Russia's most active guest conductors, the 106-man Moscow symphony displayed some solid virtues and some marked weaknesses.
