...Maestro Ozawa's contribution to the orchestra, to Boston, and even to the modern classical music world are unparalleled on today's music scene.

Nothing short of Sunday's enormous concert--an outreach in itself--should have been considered to celebrate the Maestro's extraordinary contributions...
...author, a maestro of mush, writes novels in which the hero, fatally wrong for the heroine in the world's uncaring eyes, tenderly kisses tears from the corners of her mouth.

("My client is a fool, an ass, a boor!" he once thundered. "But he is not a cold-blooded strangler.") If he and Jacob Stein fail to win immunity for Lewinsky...
...Clinton, meanwhile, is still under pressure to deliver on Thursday's promise of a press conference. "The American people want answers to these questions and the President wants to be able to give them," media maestro Mike McCurry told the assembled hordes. With subpoenas being issued for his secretary Betty Currie and his confidant Vernon Jordan, not to mention Larry Lawrence's widow, Clinton desperately needs to get a grip on the public's perception ? before the "I" word passes too many lips...
