...Orin O'Brien, 31, the newest member of the New York Philharmonic, scurried into Philharmonic Hall one rainy night last week and, ignoring the musicians' locker room, got dressed in a washroom. It was not a hazing rite. Indeed, no rookie has ever been so warmly accepted by the orchestra; to a man they say, "Orin is one of the boys." Only Orin is one of the girls-the only girl, in fact, in the 104-member orchestra, a situation unique at the Philharmonic, so there is yet no place for her to dress...

More than that, she is justifiably proud of breaking the sex barrier at the Philharmonic, which, apart from female harpists, has never in its 125-year history hired a woman musician fulltime. As it is, Orin struggled through ten years and several auditions before she finally won the job this year over 33 men bass players...

Their Alphonse-Gaston dialogue has brought stupefaction to voters of New York's 17th Congressional District, one of the most sophisticated, issue-conscious constituencies in America. Covering the east-central quarter of Manhattan Island, the district includes the art, music, publishing, theatrical and television nerve centers of the nation, upper-level Greenwich Village latitudes, and the gold-paved stretches of Fifth and Park avenues. Next week the 17th elects a successor...
Lehman, 46, has no need of borrowed names. Grandnephew of the late Herbert Lehman, who as financier, philanthropist, Governor and Senator made the name part of New York lore, Orin took up the family's anti-Tammany tradition last fall when he ran against the organization in a primary for the Democratic nomination as comptroller and came in second. Though he lost a leg in World War II while serving as an artillery-spotter pilot, Orin is hyperactive in a multiplicity of good works, ranging from civil rights to rehabilitation of the physically handicapped, stumped seven gallant miles...
