SCHUMANN AND LALO CELLO CONCERTOS (Stanislaw Skrowaczewski conducting the London Symphony Orchestra; Mercury). Janos Starker, 39, perhaps the finest of the new generation of cellists, shows how to succeed without sounding like Casals: every note is clearly articulated and virtually free of vibrato. The Schumann, written during a period of joy and serenity, is allowed to speak eloquently for itself. Starker, who can also play like a mad gypsy, shows his Hungarian heritage in the Lalo...

Truman marveled that during the ride Winston Churchill, now 89, had also managed to work on "one of the finest speeches ever made in the world."

Lunching one day with New York City Police Commissioner Michael Murphy, Rosenthal asked about the public image of New York's Finest. Not good, admitted Murphy, and he gave an example. From the public's fear of involvement with the police came the Times's Page One story last month of a woman in Queens who had been murdered within sight or sound of 38 neighbors-not one of whom...
