"There is no mystery," said Newsman Alexander Kislov at the U.N., at last getting down to Tass facts, "Vasily Stalin went to pieces after his father's death.

Klemperer spent his life savings to hire a 70-piece orchestra and Carnegie Hall to prove that he was not. Though the concert went well, for years he was unable to get a regular conducting job. In 1947 he was invited to lead the Budapest State Opera and Philharmonic. Some musicians thought he was in a class with Toscanini, Bruno Walter and Furtwangler, but his illness had left...
