...JASCHA HEIFETZ grandly and brilliantly plays the third and biggest of Brahms's three romantic sonatas for violin and piano (reissued by RCA Victor). Such virtuosity would overshadow an ordinary pianist but not the late William Kapell, who with equal ease is first sensitive accompanist, then forceful protagonist. It was on his way to California to complete recording the Brahms triptych with Heifetz that the 31-year-old Kapell was killed in a plane crash twelve years...
...authority of a Charles Boyer, his pronounced limp (an old hip injury aggravated by an automobile accident five years ago) appears less a handicap than a charming idiosyncrasy. True, he no longer tears around town like a dragster in his car, and after several unsuccessful attempts at beating Jascha Heifetz, he has given up ping-pong. But he will take the orchestra on its first tour of Latin America this spring. Then he will move his 104 musicians into their summer home at the new $3,000,000 pavilion in Saratoga Springs, N.Y.

"You'd go to a violin teacher. The same thing holds true for golf...
...children to eat anything. Two fudgesicles and dinner is out the window." Some people do not mind when the ice cream man cometh so much as how. The four-bar Good Humor tune that daily wafts over Beverly Hills struck such a sour note with Violinist Jascha Heifetz that he had his lawyer write up a complaint. Then, too, the trail of the ice cream man is apt to be a messy one. Observes a Chicago mother of four: "When those trucks pull away, my front lawn looks like a garbage dump. I break my back every day just picking...
