...Ormandy and Reiner are as different in personality as they are in artistic approach. Ormandy maintains a casual attitude toward his men, is quick to praise and slow to blame, has been known to accept suggestions from visiting soloists. Reiner is as tough on visiting artists (a current bitter antagonist: Artur Rubinstein) as on his own men. He rarely forgives an error. When annoyed, he is apt to reduce his always small beat even further, which once prompted a cellist to bring a telescope to rehearsal ("I'm looking for the beat," he explained). "To Reiner," says...

Unfortunately, Stassen has very few concrete proposals to counter the "sit-tight" attitude of his chief antagonist. The President, himself, is looking for something as spectacular as his "open-skies" or atoms-for-peace plans with which to counter Premier Bulganin's pre-NATO-Conference call for a summit meeting. Unless Stassen can come up with a suitably electrifying proposal, he will find it well-nigh impossible to break through the Administration's massive complacency...
