Principal reporter on the story was William Rademaekers, who covered the Hungarian uprising ten years ago, has since been based in Bonn, Washington and Rome, and next week will open our Eastern Europe bureau in Budapest. His fluency in Hungarian and German and his knowledge of Italian and Spanish should serve him well there. For the cover story, he made three trips to Rumania and Hungary, two to Czechoslovakia and one to Poland. Of course he was not alone on the story. Managing Editor Otto Fuerbringer, in the company of Old East European Hand Jim Bell (who now runs...

...broken, Ormandy very rarely consults a score when conducting. He commits everything to memory, which in his case is a kind of built-in microfilm system that now encompasses more than a thousand compositions. Ormandy says he developed his powers of total recall as a child in his native Budapest. Father was a dentist who was determined that his son should be a great violinist. So while he drilled away on patients' teeth in the front room, he kept an ear cocked to be sure that young Jeno (Hungarian for Eugene) was grinding away on his violin...
