...early January, when the North Vietnamese said officially that they would agree to discussions if the U.S. stopped bombing North Viet Nam. Washington followed up with a deep probe of Hanoi's intentions. The chief question throughout was whether Hanoi would give assurances that it would not militarily exploit a bombing cessation.

Yet his sonorous, spontaneous-sounding scores so deftly exploit the personality of individual instruments that they speak like characters in a drama-in fact, they often battle each other.
