...Though a silent, pale, frail-looking man, Rostropovich is the iron man of the concert circuit. Periodically, like a compulsive mountain climber, he seems compelled to tackle great chunks of the cello repertory simply because it is there.

In four seasons, they have twice finished in the first division, a feat they had accomplished only 20 times in 60 years in Washington. And never have they been hotter than now. They have won nine of their last twelve games, including three out of four with those damn and now doomed Yankees, and at week's end were leading the American...
