...finale returned the BSO to its buoyant promenade-like mode. Ax supplied plenty of exuberance, some perhaps at the cost of the movement's customary nonchalance. The sections resembling the finale of Brahms' Serenade No. 1 in D Major conveyed a perfect innocence, lifting the emotional burden of the journey in the most pleasant way.

His speech sent his own party into convulsions, with some congressional Democrats privately calling him a turncoat and vilifying Morris as a kind of serpent whispering evil in the President's ear. Republicans, having grudgingly praised Clinton at first, were suggesting within a few days that he was a fraud. Their evidence: a Congressional Budget Office estimate that...
