Yannatos and his orchestra performed the symphony without condescension. By treating it as legitimate music, giving it as much attention and respect as the other two works, they saved the Tschaikovsky from the disaster that is inevitable when it is played as camp. The famous Allegro con grazia in five-four was captivating rather than sentimental (bravo 'cellos!), and the rousing march-like third movement was rousing instead of vulgar...

A few days later he discovers it was worth less than he thought. The police inform him that 1) the million-lira check has bounced, and 2) he will go to jail unless he can explain what he did to earn so much money...
Well-accepted by whom? Somehow De Grazia's preoccupation with the continuity of leisure--from Aristotle's good life through tomorrow's leisure society--prevents his seeing the sweatshops in between. Time, Work and Leisure is therefore a totally apolitical book.
