In Britain to conduct the London Symphony, the former leader of the San Francisco Symphony took time out to realize a boyhood dream-donning a dandy fireman's hat and watching a ding-dong drill put on by the London Fire Brigade.

Robin's true emotions can not crack his polished exterior...
...Premier David Ben-Gurion, who administered an impromptu Biblical quiz. Next it was a session with Israeli President Itzhak Ben-Zvi, who nodded approvingly as Joshua recited from the Torah. On the big day, in Jerusalem's cavernous Yeshurun synagogue, Joshua marked his confirmation by intoning in near flawless Hebrew Verses 40 through 50, Chapter VII of First Kings, later received warm congratulations at a 100-guest luncheon in his honor at the King David Hotel...
