James Lardner's hard-nosed man-of-the-world reproach to the Kearns-Levinson article in the New Republic ("Brass Tacks" -- no less!) exhibits the kind of sophomoric bunk that I do not usually associate with the CRIMSON. The rhetoric is fair but he didn't read the article. And if he did, then he's guilty of the gar greater sin of twisting the gist thereof to best fit his private beat. Shortly stated, Lardner's paraphrase of what Kearns and Levinson wrote is that the best way to dump the chief is to a) start a third party...
...young student at the Parma Conservatory: "Napoleon" and "il genietto" (the little genius). Many of the musicians quoted by Haggin still quake at the memory of his fierce glare, which took in the whole orchestra but made each player feel that it was focused on him-usually in reproach. And then there were the tantrums. When a piece was not played as Toscanini wanted it, "his irritation used to start at his feet and rise," recalls Bassoonist Sol Schoen-bach.

...equipment, and that only whetted his ambition further. What he did have was a fast spiel, a talent for flattering the real movers and shakers with grandiose ideas, and an astonishing gift for getting people to part with their money. "People do not understand me," he once said. "They reproach me for announcing six films for a year and then making only one in four years. It is very simple. You start a film, and then after three weeks you stop-to see if the mediocre people who furnished the money are really behind you. If you see them hesitate...
