...ready, willing and able to face up to the danger that threatens at Berlin's Brandenburg Gate. But in the mind of John Kennedy, the nation is less prepared for the crises that lurk half-hidden in Africa, South America and Asia.

Last week the barn echoed to Beethoven's Sextet in E-Flat, Martinu's Three Madrigals for Violin and Viola and Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No. 5. Occasion: a concert at Vermont's Marlboro Festival, now celebrating its tenth season...
