...little ground at Rhodes. But Israelis said that they would never consider any solution that did not recognize Israel's sovereignty; Arabs were still flatly refusing to acknowledge even the existence of the Jewish state.

Last January Marcus was back in his law practice when Haganah asked him to help build an efficient Jewish army. Marcus consented. As chief planner he won the confidence of Palestine Jews by suggesting "we ought . . ." instead of "you must . . ."

Schnabel had divided his score into conventional bars, but only as a concession to form. Said he: "I hate bars . . . [they] are like policemen's batons that strike down horribly, horribly. We must do away with them." He likes his melodies to "flow with no barriers, like the sea." He had composed his symphony ten years ago in the Swiss mountains, and likes to think of it as "glacial." But, he warned, "Do not try to understand it. Just feel...
