When she came back she ordered the nurse to get some ice, and placed the bottle on a washstand. (When chemists later analyzed the meat juice, they found that it contained half a grain of arsenic.)

Driving an ambulance, which William Walton has been doing for more than a year, kept him from hearing the world premiere of his violin concerto, written for Jascha Heifetz and played in Cleveland in December 1939. Fortnight ago, his job kept him from another first performance: his Scapino, a Comedy Overture, commissioned by the Chicago Symphony as part of its 50th-anniversary celebration...
