...implement integration by busing, attempts to deal with those questions and criticisms. Lupo, an experienced Boston-bred journalist with a keen eye for detail, does not present the reader with a completely seminal work.

Reliance on ticket sales and unspecified patron donations all too often has forced the country's symphony orchestras to cut-down on concert schedules, to cut-down the players' salaries, and to program concerts to appeal to a wide audience, thereby foregoing the lesser-known though equally deserving works. The Boston Symphony is fortunate in having the satellite Boston Pops (which is composed primarily of Symphony players) to gross a huge annual sum. Through record sales (Arthur Fiedler has sold more records than any conductor in the world), television appearances, cocktail longesque "Evening At Pops", Esplanade concerts...
