...Rage or Resignation. No critic had to excuse Toscanini's present by recalling his brilliant past. In this season's memorable 13 broadcasts, the Maestro has put on -and carried off-demanding programs that would have taxed conductors 30 years younger. He has not taken things easier because of his age, and he did not allow anyone else to either. In a business where wrath is an occupational privilege, Toscanini is still the tyrant of them all. Last week, rehearsing Brahms, the Maestro joyfully sang melodic passages with the orchestra in his croaky voice (which is often audible...
...Cross (then hot rivals for every body found in the streets) argued about who should get him. A woman stepped from the crowd and applied a tourniquet; but gangrene set in, and when the doctors were through with Genaro, both legs were gone at the hips. With a hot rage against life in his heart, Genaro got a little wooden platform to wheel himself around, bought a shoeshine box, and went to the patio of the National Palace to earn his living.

...drafted again. Says he: "I just couldn't take it any more. One night I was found semiconscious, partially buried in a dung pit. ... I was placed in an asylum for war-crazed, shell-shocked and insane soldiers." Grosz emerged from the asylum a pale hurricane of rage. He had reason to hate the men who had been on top in Germany, and "among the masses I found scorn, mockery, fear, oppression, falsehood, betrayal, lies and filth-in abundance." In beaten Germany he found an abundance of subjects, drew thousands of dagger-sharp drawings of pig-faced whores, vulpine...
