Never before had any major orchestra visited the Alaskan bush or the treeless tundra. Never before, in all probability, had any orchestra's itinerary been such a travel agent's nightmare-covering 11,000 miles by plane, boat, bus and snowmobile to give 36 concerts in six days.

Leblanc is forced to operate from Ferney-Voltaire, a French village that became a minimetropolis almost overnight...

Her reply: "The other side is all around us." Or, as Buffalo's Ann Scott says of John Milton: "Nobody who is such a great writer has a right to be such a damn...
