...control of their dogs is limited to four simple commands -Gee for turn right. Haw for left. Hike for go, and Whoa for stop-found the going tricky, and there were five spills on Suicide Hill. The teams are paced by their drivers, who must take care not to burn them out in heavy slush. When a burst of speed is needed, drivers sometimes "pump" (give a series of short one-legged kicks in the snow) to aid their animals.

Fortunately there is Ashkenazy, the finest all-round pianist in music today, a man who is possessed of Schnabel's heart but, unlike Schnabel, has technique to burn.
