Drury, an extremely talented senior with a penchant for contemporary music, interpreted the piece with an utterly compelling, almost demonic intensity. His virtuosity and technical facility excelled in explicating every facet of the sonata, from the darting melodic leaps in Hawthorne to the Alcott's hymnal simplicity. Even the liberties he took in tempi and dynamics sounded authentic and convincing. Ives himself said of the Hawthorne, "It is not intended that the metrical relations...be held too literally."

Television properly replies that speeches are only one facet of a convention, and refuses to cover the ceremonies with the hushed reverence of the BBC covering a coronation. Other critics contend that this great political rite should not reach the public filtered through rival network superstars. But men like the lone Cronkite, or Chancellor/Brinkley (who make a better matched pair than did the earlier Huntley/Brinkley), show a welcome lack of showboating. When one NBC reporter...
