Concerned politicians in Argentina would like Isabel to step down, passing the presidential baton to the man next in line constitutionally, Senate Leader Italo Luder. Mrs. Perón's tenacity-at this point her only obvious political virtue-seems hardly to allow for such a solution. More realistically, some favor a brief coup by the military that would forcibly put Isabel on a plane to Spain and then turn the administration over to Luder.

The orchestra played better than it has in the last several years, and this at only the start of their season. If the Bach Society improves over the year, as it usually does, we should be hearing some superb music...
