Ormandy, it is true, held on too long, and the Philadelphia musicians have embraced Muti so warmly in part because he is not Ormandy. But an edifice that took more than four decades to erect should not lightly be dismantled. For all the talk of versatility, it ought to be remembered that the two best orchestras in the world, the Berlin Philharmonic and the Vienna Philharmonic, have an instantly identifiable signature that distinguishes every note they play. Should Muti ultimately find a way to merge Ormandy's legacy of a personalized voice with his own formidable strengths, then the chain...
Finally, now that Cambridge has moved its bus stops--and the accompanying wooden shelters that kept people warm and dry--from Cambridge Common to the underground shelter beneath Harvard Square, will the College erect a shelter for cold and wet shuttle riders across from the old burying ground? Or will it possibly find a route system that is less complex and doesn't require you to wait for more than 15 minutes for a bus? Don't bet on it.

...Health Service, sounding offended by a chaos that beggared his means to cope. Indeed, for prac- tically everyone in the convention hall, nuclear war would be the ultimate professional frustration, not the ultimate challenge: With suffering and death so vast, whom to rescue and whom to mend? Where to erect the police barricades? Theirs is not so much a fascination with disaster as it is a half-religious, half-martial hankering to see what they can do to help. Nuclear holocaust would be too big to handle. Murphey, for all his quixotic zeal, understands perfectly the indifference to his brand...
