...tell you that I'm his maid, and that he loves you all very much.' " Cohen also manages to give honorary Tonys to stars who may not fit the contest categories but are likely to raise the Nielsen rating or deliver particularly urbane acceptance remarks. Leonard Bernstein foxed Alex in 1969 by wondering before a nationwide audience why he was there, having "contributed precisely nothing to the Broadway musical scene for twelve years...
...School in New York during the thirties with none other than Elie Siegmeister and Hans Eisler as colleagues, inspired Lehrman to take a new look at Brecht's 1948 didactic play about the Paris Commune-or, more precisely, Blitzstein with an interpretational gloss thrown on his work by Leonard Bernstein.

Wolfe's Leonard Bernstein is neither a freak nor a fool. Following the sound old American principle of defending civil liberties, wherever threatened, he winds up with the Panthers in his drawing room. Where bail was concerned, their legal rights certainly were threatened. But how is a good Jewish liberal to take a group that cheerfully talks about destroying his society and is, at the very least, linked...
