Forbes has the most distinctive campaign style of anyone in the field, which is to say none. It is all his handlers can do to get him to unclasp his hands. There's not a chance he'll loosen his tie.

What kind of genetic machinery, Erwin wondered, did nature...

As a teenage student of the formidable Egon Petri (a tough, intellectual pianist renowned for his sturdy Liszt and penetrating Beethoven performances), Wild was already a concert-hall veteran, a kind of young American version of Vladimir Horowitz. In 1942, the legendary Arturo Toscanini invited him to play Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue with the NBC Symphony. Wild remains the only American soloist ever to play under the fiery Italian maestro...
