Certainly some conductors (and some famous ones) make the strings weep when the composer only intended them to sigh. But if all that is needed is to follow the composer's explicit directions, what's all the fuss about conducting?

What did crop into the open without warning was the overwhelming general unrest about the Administration drift toward a conservative orientation. Two viewpoints concerning strategy clashed: one holding that explicit platform-wise recognition of Truman's shortness on liberalism would gather votes for Wallace, another insisting that a whitewash inevitably spelled further Presidential slaps to the face of the Left. The issue was fought out in sessions of the political policy drafting committee. Careerist Democrats Paul Porter (ex-OPA chief...
