Gairy claimed that God had appointed him to carry out a "divine plan" and that he regularly sent out "love waves" to his political opponents. Actually he ran a hateful little dictatorship. According to Bishop, Gairy was several times re-elected in blatantly rigged contests that included the registration of thousands of dead Grenadians and the bribing of living ones.

The Boston players were full of admiration for the students' ability, but shocked by their equipment. Most instruments are either bad or terrible. Strings on violins and cellos are steel-cheap, durable, but incapable, as Ozawa says, of making "a mild tone." The conservatory library is sparse and quirky.
