...Lorin Hawes started out as a U.S. nuclear physicist, but in 1956 he emigrated to Australia because, he says, "I was fed up with warmongering, hillbilly officers, the CIA, the Pentagon, the whole damn lot." He lectured in Australian universities, but by 1965 found Australian society also becoming too militaristic for his liking. He then turned for his living to what had become his hobby: making and throwing boomerangs.

Endowed with stamina, sensitivity and intelligence, Maazel is a former child prodigy who at the age of eleven was guest conductor of Toscanini's NBC Symphony. One day, when he showed up to rehearse the NBC, he found all 100 or so musicians sucking lollipops. That might have finished any other child right then and there. Not Maazel. "I was a pretty tough...
