Callas' own performance had the familiar virtues and faults: warmth and purity in the lower and middle registers, edginess and wobble in the upper ones.

He got a New York district court ruling that Alleghany fell under the jurisdiction of the Securities and Exchange Commission rather than the Interstate Commerce Commission, which approved the issue. When the Supreme Court reversed this ruling, the lower court held that Alleghany had illegally acquired control of the New York Central in 1954 because it did not get ICC approval.
