...Since generalities are particularly dangerous when great musicians are involved, this reviewer can only say that he viewed the choice and execution of half the Sunday afternoon concert of the Orchestra in rather a dim light.

Dr. Freireich, a Long Island county toxicologist, directed the treatments which revived 19 would-be suicides with massive intravenous injections of benzedrine. (The reviving dose of benzedrine would be equally poisonous to any but a thoroughly doped victim.)
