"Bobby and I work very closely, I am very fond of Bob," he insists. "But I am also frank about this whole publicity thing. I don't like any confusion about who is running Paramount.

Violinist Joseph Silverstein, concertmaster of the BSO, and pianist Anton Kuerti, artist in residence at the University of Toronto, presented a varied and exciting joint recital to raise money for the rebuilding of Bach Mai hospital, which American bombers destroyed a little over a year ago. The musicians gave no speeches; their playing was eloquent and moving...
