Sonia was the tragic Horowitz. A pretty but moody girl with dark burning Toscanini eyes, she was her famed grandfather's favorite and could speak to him in a way that nobody else dared. The maestro once asked her whether she would prefer to be a conductor or a pianist. "A conductor," Sonia replied. "It's easier." She was naturally talented, adept at the piano, a good writer, accomplished at painting and photography. But she was emotionally unstable, and Toscanini's death in January 1957 grieved her deeply.

After being treated like royalty for presiding over the longest economic boom in the nation's history, Alan Greenspan, 79, might well have expected his final year as Chairman of the Federal Reserve to be one triumphant victory lap. Instead, the man known as Maestro may not even get a standing ovation. The economy is showing signs of slowing growth and oil-fueled inflation, a potentially dire duality.
