...composition studies in Paris in 1924 when he wrote this big, loose-jointed work, first cousin to a concerto. The organ does not contrast with the orchestra but stirs it up and then masses forces with it. Considered shocking at the time ("If a young man at the age of 23 can write a symphony like that, in five years he will be ready to commit murder!" declared Con ductor Walter Damroseh), the work has never been recorded until now.

By choosing to be treated as a juvenile, however, he would automatically waive his right to trial by jury...
...middle age is setting in, relatively speaking. Last week, at 41, Peterson climbed upstairs to Bell & Howell's chairmanship, vacant since 1966 when Illinois Republican Percy campaigned for the U.S. Senate. Into Peterson's old office moved Robert A. Charpie, formerly president of Union Carbide's electronics division and, at 42, something of a corporate veteran...
