...SUBJECT of the men who conduct and their orchestras is both intriguing and dangerous. The fascinations surrounding a Toscanini or a Koussevitzky are well known; but there is always the fear that attention may be diverted from the music itself to mere personalities.

It still rallies around one man and its methods are still highly unorthodox. For some reason, the Old World has so far been kinder than the New to the cultists of the Oxford Group. On the heels of the Ollerup meeting, a European author with a respectable following will publish next week the Group's first big literary apologia. Having tried smart fiction (Evensong), pacifism (Cry Havoc!) and horticulture (Down The Garden Path), elegant British...
