...them in the kitchen or other back rooms. For the first time since the war began, veteran correspondents in the lobbies of their favorite hotels joined repeatedly in mad, trampling scrambles into back rooms.

The drive was a success. To Pittsburgh went successively: 1) gaunt, funereal Otto Klemperer, conductor of the Los Angeles Philharmonic; 2) Cincinnati's Eugene Goossens; 3) Fritz Reiner; 4) Mexico's Carlos Chavez; 4) NBC's Walter Damrosch; 6) Michel Gusikoff, former concertmaster of the Philadelphia Orchestra...
