...liked him, we also had to evaluate his book." For Martin, the most memorable moment of the visit was reached at dinner, when Fielding proposed a toast. The convivial host explained that it was an old Danish custom to make toasts that played on the name of the guest. Peter was easy: "The rock, the anchor, the beginning. . ."Gavin was harder; next, Fielding had to translate Scott's given name into Irish: "Kevin, the emerald spirit of wit . . ." For Photographer Ben Martin, he spoke in terms of Ben Franklin: "Ben, the mechanical genius, the diplomat...
...Hungry. Ria's daily guest list is usually a West German Who's Who and who's hungry. Foreign Minister Willy Brandt may be eating at one table; he dines bei Ria so often that she refers to him familiarly as "der Willy" and sees to it that his after-dinner coffee always contains the shot of rum he favors.

Even so, his ten-year tenure as music director was a particularly personal and successful relationship. The first American-born conductor to head a front-rank U.S. orchestra, he was chosen to succeed the late Dimitri Mitropoulos in 1958; since then, subscriptions rose from 9,886 to 25,570, and concerts at Lincoln Center...
Many Voices. A veteran of Marine Corps action in the Pacific, where he won the Silver Star and Navy Cross, Hunt progressed from a FORTUNE magazine writer to LIFE bureau chief in Chicago and Washington. As LIFE'S managing editor, he added guest columnists and more by-lined critical articles, and achieved a more effective blending of words and pictures. Hunt not only made LIFE more personal but added, as he puts it, "many voices, many points of view, as well as its own." His philosophy was that LIFE should "report the news as magnificently as possible," realizing that...
