...Lydiard tries for a breakthrough in stamina," explains rival Oregon Coach Bill Bowerman. "When a runner like Snell works very hard, he reaches a point where he begins to ache in his joints. The pain is enormous. When that happens, most coaches ease off. Lydiard just keeps him working harder and harder-until he becomes insensitive to the pain." So far, Snell's masochistic training regimen has paid off: when he finished his record-breaking mile in Wanganui, he was hardly panting...

...vigor and accuracy of the concluding two movements of Schumann's Sonata No. 2 in G Minor, Op. 22, however, were the evening's technical highpoint. In the Scherzo (Molto presto marcato). Hellman maintained a push, a drive, which testified to real stamina. The final Rondo (Presto) alternated diving attacks with lyric interludes, and Hellman polished off the sonata with, as ever, controlled, smooth strength...
