...death and General Penkovsky, 65. Despite the twelve deaths in 17 days, overall the mortality has been steady: 46 have died since the beginning of this year, only nine more than in the comparable period of 1968. Considering that Russia counted 10,000 generals in its army at the end of World War II, the close deaths of that many of them a quarter of a century later was curious but actuarially quite plausible.

Mahler's exalted but nostalgic Symphony No. 3 for contralto, massed choruses and orchestra. It was an appropriate choice: Bernstein has done more than any man alive to popularize Mahler. The concerts were the last that he will give as the orchestra's musical director. At the end of the 105-minute performances, Bernstein received standing ovations, and he was near tears as he embraced the soloist and first-desk musicians.
