...place of Ormandy's impressionistic tonal colors and blurred instrumental outlines, Reiner offered a lyrically transparent reading in which every phrase stood out as though etched with scalpel. The tempi were firm as bedrock, the contrasts brilliantly modulated. In both Philadelphia and Carnegie Hall, where he repeated the program, Reiner ticked off the beat with tiny flicks of his baton. To his audiences he revealed sculptured details that many had never heard before...

He saw the same objections to alcohol injections (TIME, March 21, 1955).

Theater's The Bitter Choice, Anne Baxter was hopelessly involved-and tearily terrible-as an Army nurse whose deliberate anger was supposed to scalpel through a G.I.'s shell of apathy. As Social Lioness Dolly Madison trying to make a Washington comeback, a bespectacled and bewigged Bette Davis had her moments on Ford Theater, but Bette's vehicle, Footnote on a Doll, was far too rickety for the big Potomac. And Kaiser...
